The San Francisco 49ers have reportedly agreed to bring back wide receiver Deebo Samuel after Ricky Pearsall suffered a knee injury early in training camp. The move is intended to reinforce a receiving group facing immediate uncertainty and restores a familiar, versatile option to the team’s offence.

Pearsall’s injury was described as an increasing concern, although the available report did not specify its severity or expected absence. Samuel previously played a central role for San Francisco as both a receiver and ball carrier, so his return could help the 49ers manage the loss of depth while Pearsall’s condition is assessed.
