49ers' Ricky Pearsall to Return from Shoulder Injury amid Brandon Aiyuk Rumors

A key offensive rookie for the San Francisco 49ers will reportedly be back on the field on Monday.

Per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, wide receiver Ricky Pearsall will return to practice after missing time due to a shoulder injury.

Pearsall has been dealing with a partial dislocation of his shoulder and missed all of San Francisco's preseason games.

After using a first-round pick on him, 49ers' head coach Kyle Shanahan will likely look to Pearsall to be a contributor early on.

"I hope so," Shanahan said when asked if Pearsall would be ready for Week 1, per NFL.com's Jeremy Bergman. "We'll see how he is this week. Hoping he gets into practice this week, and if he does, that's a pretty good sign that he could be available for then."

The 49ers selected Pearsall with the 31st pick after the Florida product recorded 965 receiving yards and four touchdowns during his senior year with the Gators. He also had 62 rushing yards and a pair of touchdowns on the ground, along with 126 punt return yards on 11 attempts.

Pearsall's return to the field comes amid ongoing uncertainty around wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, who is currently holding in and has requested a trade from the 49ers after an offseason of failed contract negotiations.

As Aiyuk continues to hold in, the 49ers' top offensive lineman Trent Williams is holding out, and whether he'll play Week 1 is uncertain. Star running back Christian McCaffrey has also missed time during camp due to a calf injury.

As Week 1 approaches, the 49ers' offense is still facing some hiccups, so getting some reassurance that Pearsall could be good to go would be a weight off San Francisco's shoulders.
