San Francisco 49ers face significant injury concerns ahead of season

Wide receiver Ricky Pearsall is expected to miss the entire season following surgery for a PCL injury. Additionally, outside linebacker Mykel Williams is considered a longshot to be ready for the Week 1 opener on September 10 as he recovers from a torn ACL.

Defensive star Nick Bosa is also managing health concerns, currently dealing with tendinitis during his rehabilitation. While the team intends to take a cautious, week-to-week approach with Bosa, they remain focused on maintaining the team culture that supported them through previous injury-plagued playoff runs.
