As expected, San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver Ricky Pearsall returned to practice on Monday. He is wearing a blue no-contact jersey. The team will hold three practices this week, including sessions on Wednesday and Thursday.
Matt Barrows of The Athletic also reports that cornerback Isaac Yiadom has returned to practice. He has been dealing with an ankle injury.

Shanahan confirmed after Friday's preseason finale against the Las Vegas Raiders that the injury initially occurred during Pearsall's college career and was recently re-aggravated.
"I think his junior year," Shanahan shared. "About 50% of the people coming out of college do that. That really wasn't the problem. He did it in OTAs for the first time with us, and when you do that, it's tender. And then he redid it here a couple weeks ago, and it makes it tender, so you want to give him time to come back from it."
Pearsall's return to practice bodes well for his chances of contributing when the 49ers host the New York Jets at Levi's Stadium on Monday, September 9, to start their regular season.
