Ricky Pearsall

Kyle Shanahan told reporters he is hopeful that first-round rookie WR Ricky Pearsall (shoulder) is ready for Week 1.

Shanahan discussed the available timeframe for Pearsall’s rehabilitation, noting the importance of protecting Pearsall from contact to ensure no setbacks occur. Shanahan optimistically characterized the 24 remaining days leading up to the 49ers’ Week 1 kickoff against the Jets as “27 days—or something,” which seems to indicate Pearsall’s recovery will likely be ongoing right up until kickoff. 49ers G Aaron Banks underwent surgery Friday morning to repair a broken pinkie finger. Shanahan is likewise “hoping to have him back by Week 1.”
