San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall will be placed on season-ending injured reserve after a lingering PCL injury, with surgery planned to aim for 2027; Pearsall, a 2024 first-round pick, has career totals of 67 catches for 928 yards and three TDs. The 49ers recently re-signed Deebo Samuel and may seek additional receivers to pair with veteran Mike Evans.
Ricky Pearsall is sidelined at 49ers camp with a re-aggravated PCL injury; symptoms emerged during intensive drills, leading medical voices to say surgery should be a last resort due to long recovery (9–12 months) and mixed results, so rehab and rest are the initial plan with surgery as a potential contingency, not a certainty.
Christian McCaffrey of the San Francisco 49ers may miss the rest of the 2024 season due to a PCL injury sustained during a game against the Buffalo Bills. McCaffrey, who had already missed the first eight games of the season due to bilateral Achilles tendinitis, was injured in the second quarter and did not return for the second half. Head coach Kyle Shanahan expressed frustration over the loss, noting McCaffrey's strong performance in practice and the game before the injury.
Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander aggravated a torn PCL in his knee during a game against the Chicago Bears, after attempting an early return from the injury sustained in a previous match against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Alexander, who was listed as questionable and practiced in a limited capacity, admitted he needed more time to heal. His return timeline is uncertain, and it's unclear if he will be placed on injured reserve. The Packers will rely on other cornerbacks in his absence as they face the San Francisco 49ers next.
