NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports that WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) “could be back” for the 49ers’ Week 6 game against the Buccaneers.

49ers TE George Kittle (hamstring) and WR Jauan Jennings (ankle/ribs) could also return, which is good news for a team that is expected to be without Brock Purdy in the short term after the starting quarterback aggravated his turf toe injury in Week 4. Pearsall’s 327 receiving yards rank fourth among NFL wide receivers, though he has not yet scored a touchdown, which could afford savvy fantasy managers a one-week buy-low opportunity.
