Pearsall participated in the 49ers' mandatory minicamp last month but wore a blue non-contact jersey, indicating he was working through an issue. At the time, Shanahan explained that Pearsall was experiencing "a little soreness" left over from organized team activities (OTAs) and that the jersey was a precautionary measure.
San Francisco selected Pearsall with their first-round pick, No. 31 overall, and the rookie impressed during the team's offseason program. While the 49ers hope he can be an immediate contributor, Pearsall is part of a talented wide receiver room that will present a challenge for him to climb the depth chart.
