Ricky Pearsall waiting to have surgery on PCL wasn’t avoidance; it was medically sound
Ricky Pearsall is currently out of the San Francisco 49ers’ training camp with a PCL injury, and initial reports say he might be out for much longer than that. While it did give us the return of Deebo Samuel to fill the wide receiver spot in an extended Pearsall absence, it’s rather concerning for Pearsall, […]
