Second-year San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall returned to practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session due to knee soreness that surfaced following Sunday's win over the Arizona Cardinals.


On Wednesday, Pearsall downplayed the setback while speaking with reporters.


"It's feeling good," Pearsall said. "I actually don't even know when I hurt my knee, to be completely honest. I felt a little bit of soreness after the game, and it wasn't until later on in the night, I was kind of moving around and felt a little soreness; nothing that I was really concerned about.

"I came in the next day, and was talking to the trainers, and I told them the same thing I'm telling you right now—I'm not really concerned, but I just want to check it out a little bit. And that's kind of what I'm doing with this.

"It's just a little bit of soreness, and I'm not worried about it. If there was a game today, I'd play."

The 49ers also activated wide receiver Demarcus Robinson from the reserve/suspended list, adding veteran depth to the receiving corps ahead of Sunday's Week 4 showdown against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Robinson had been serving a three-game suspension for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy following a November 2024 DUI arrest while with the Los Angeles Rams.

Additionally, defensive end Yetur Gross-Matos (knee) was back on the practice field Thursday. The 49ers will release their official participation report after practice, which will clarify whether players were full or limited participants.
