Heading into the NFC Divisional Round playoff game against the Seattle Seahawks, one of the biggest questions around the San Francisco 49ers was whether star wide receiver Ricky Pearsall would be available. Pearsall has battled a lingering knee injury throughout the 2025 season, which has kept him out of multiple games, including the Wild Card Round.

Pearsall’s Injury and Importance to the 49ers

Ricky Pearsall, a promising second-year receiver for the San Francisco 49ers, has shown elite playmaking ability when healthy. However, a right knee injury plagued his 2025 campaign, a PCL strain initially suffered in early December, leading to missed games and limited production.

Entering the Divisional Round, all eyes were on his status as the 49ers prepared to face a rugged Seahawks defense.

What Injury Has Pearsall Been Dealing With?

Pearsall has been managing a right knee injury, initially sustained on December 14, 2025, during a game against the Tennessee Titans. The issue has limited his availability late in the season and into the playoffs, resulting in him missing several contests, including the Wild Card victory over the Eagles.

In nine games this season, when he was able to play, Pearsall recorded 36 receptions for 528 yards but no touchdowns, showing his big-play potential even while hampered by injuries.

Pearsall’s Official Status vs. Seahawks

Despite ongoing concerns, Ricky Pearsall was listed as active for the Divisional Round against the Seahawks. He was cleared to play and appeared on the 49ers’ active roster for the game after missing the previous Wild Card matchup.

Conclusion

Ricky Pearsall entered the 49ers’ Divisional Round playoff game battling a lingering knee injury, but was ultimately cleared and active for the matchup against the Seahawks. While he was on the field, his involvement was limited and did not result in any receptions, reflecting both the game flow and ongoing injury management.
