49ers Face Uncertainty with Key Receivers Ahead of Season Opener

Rookie Ricky Pearsall's shoulder injury and Brandon Aiyuk's contract dispute complicate San Francisco's offensive plans.

Ricky Pearsall, the 49ers' first-round pick, is recovering from a recurring shoulder injury and his Week 1 status is uncertain.
Brandon Aiyuk, the team's leading receiver, is holding out due to a contract dispute, leaving his participation in doubt.
Coach Kyle Shanahan hopes Pearsall will return to practice this week, which could indicate his availability for the season opener.
The 49ers were aware of Pearsall's shoulder issues before drafting him, but the injury's recurrence is concerning.
San Francisco's offense may struggle against the Jets' strong defense without both Pearsall and Aiyuk.
