The San Francisco 49ers have ruled out Brock Purdy and Ricky Pearsall for Week 8 against the Texans, with Purdy showing signs of progress as he travels to Houston, and Brandon Aiyuk potentially returning to practice as early as next week, possibly targeting Week 10.
The San Francisco 49ers are entering minicamp with concerns about their wide receiver corps, especially with Brandon Aiyuk's injury and the potential absence of Deebo Samuel, relying heavily on Ricky Pearsall's health and development, while also focusing on younger players like Cowing and Watkins to strengthen their depth for the upcoming season.
