Ricky Pearsall Jr. Faces Major Role for 49ers Against Cowboys

The rookie wide receiver steps up amid injuries as the team prepares for a pivotal game.

Ricky Pearsall Jr., a 49ers rookie, is expected to play a significant role against the Dallas Cowboys due to injuries among key receivers.
Pearsall played 48 snaps in his NFL debut against the Chiefs, filling in due to Deebo Samuel's illness and Brandon Aiyuk's season-ending injury.
Despite limited practice time from injuries and a shooting incident, Pearsall is adapting to multiple receiver roles in the 49ers' offense.
Coach Kyle Shanahan expressed confidence in Pearsall's ability to improve with more game experience and practice reps.
The 49ers face additional challenges with several players, including George Kittle and Nick Bosa, dealing with injuries ahead of the Cowboys game.
