49ers Expect Ricky Pearsall to Practice Wednesday, Aiyuk Stays on PUP, Purdy Needs Three Full Practices

San Francisco is prioritizing criteria-based returns that require full, aggressive practices before clearance.

Overview

  • Kyle Shanahan said Ricky Pearsall "should" return to practice Wednesday, putting the receiver in play for Week 11 if his knee responds well.
  • The club will not open Brandon Aiyuk’s 21-day practice window this week, keeping him on the physically unable to perform list.
  • Brock Purdy will be cleared only after completing three full, aggressive practices without limitations or setbacks, according to Shanahan.
  • Shanahan reported no new injuries from the loss to the Rams and noted the team would verify that clean report again on Wednesday.
  • Rookie Alfred Collins (hip) is due for a Wednesday re-evaluation, rookie Mykel Williams sustained a season-ending ACL tear, and Asante Samuel Jr. had a tryout Monday.
