3 Training Camp Notes from Day 3 of 49ers practice: What’s Deebo Samuel up to?
Key Points:
- San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall is dealing with swelling in his previously injured PCL knee, raising concerns about his availability; the team is considering either a wait-and-see approach or surgery, which would end his season.
- Rookie wide receiver D’Zhaun Stribling is impressing coaches and analysts with his speed, size, and versatility, positioning himself for a larger offensive role, especially if Pearsall misses time.
- Cornerback Jack Jones is actively competing for the CB2 spot, showing playmaking ability with interceptions and applying pressure on younger cornerback Renardo Green, who remains the frontrunner for the position.
- The 49ers are facing early challenges in training camp with injuries but also seeing promising performances from younger players stepping up to fill potential gaps.
