Pearsall done for the season, Worthy dodges a scare

Ricky Pearsall's season is over. The 49ers wideout landed on injured reserve and will have season-ending surgery on his right knee, a procedure with a recovery timetable that could stretch into next year. For jgianares, Pearsall was a bench piece with standalone value, so this is a real loss but not a lineup emergency. San Francisco has already moved on, bringing in Deebo Samuel and turning more work toward Demarcus Robinson and rookie De'Zhaun Stribling behind Mike Evans as the clear top target.

Over in Kansas City, Xavier Worthy gave Trotter0 a scare before settling things down. Worthy left a training camp practice early with a shoulder injury, raising questions about whether it involved the same shoulder he had surgically repaired this offseason after last year's Week 1 dislocation. The follow-up was more reassuring: the injury appears to be precautionary, and Worthy could be back on the field before Kansas City's preseason opener against the Rams. For a bench asset, that's a non-event with a happy ending, though Trotter0 will want confirmation before fully exhaling. Chiefs rookie Cyrus Allen also banged up his shin in the same stretch of camp, for what it's worth to anyone monitoring Kansas City's receiver depth.
