Bay Area radio station KNBR posted a video featuring offensive linemen Trent Williams and Dominick Puni, wide receivers Brandon Aiyuk and Jauan Jennings, and cornerback Deommodore Lenoir, who shared their initial reactions upon learning about Pearsall's situation.
Many players initially struggled to believe the news and were heartbroken when they realized it was real. However, Pearsall's return to the team this week and his expected swift recovery offer a silver lining. General manager John Lynch even noted that Pearsall is expected to recover quickly enough to contribute this season.
"That just kind of shows how tough he is and his resiliency," fellow rookie Puni shared. "I think it's going to be a big [motivator] for the team this year, too."
Jennings added, "It just gives us strength, more fuel for the fire for this season."
