49ers Injury Outlook: Pearsall Set to Practice, Aiyuk Still on PUP, Purdy Faces Three‑Practice Benchmark

Kyle Shanahan reported no new injuries, setting practice-based benchmarks for Week 11 decisions.

Overview

  • Shanahan said Ricky Pearsall "should" return to practice Wednesday after six games out with a knee injury, putting a Week 11 return in play if the ramp-up holds.
  • Brandon Aiyuk’s 21-day practice window will not open this week as he remains on the physically unable to perform list following last season’s ACL and MCL tears.
  • Brock Purdy will only be cleared to play after three aggressive, limitation-free practices this week, with Shanahan indicating he will not dress as a backup before he is ready to start.
  • Shanahan confirmed no new injuries from the loss to the Rams, with rookie defensive tackle Alfred Collins set for a Wednesday re-evaluation of his hip.
  • Per the transaction wire, cornerback Asante Samuel Jr. had a tryout with the team on Monday as the 49ers assess depth options in the secondary.
