00:00but we do have breaking news of sorts because Kyle Shanahan is speaking to the media as part

00:07of OTAs for the first time this offseason and among the things that he said

00:12Ricky Pearsall's hurt. Ricky Pearsall has a hamstring injury and will not return until

00:23training camp. Oh boy. That's in late July. Right. That's in August. Training camp. Yes we're about

00:33to be in June so there will be no June and there will not be much of a July. This is essentially

00:37saying that for the next eight weeks or so Ricky Pearsall OTAs mini camp and then who knows after

00:45that but Ricky Pearsall is down with a hamstring injury and will be missing the offseason activity.

00:52That is really bad news. Terrible news. For a team that is already in my opinion thin at wide

00:58receiver and you're trying to continue to develop that rapport with Brock Purdy. The rapport you

01:03couldn't develop last year because he got shot. So you get shot you miss a big portion of the season

01:09and now this year you come out and you've got a hammy and if you look at training camp and you know

01:15just trying to put the puzzle pieces together and you know this might call for an emergency text to

01:20Dr. Nirav Pandya to get his thoughts. But if you have a hamstring injury in May and you're going

01:26to be out until July and that's two months that to me feels like grade two if not even more severe

01:34if you're going to miss that much time. Well I don't know. I mean like I hear what you're saying

01:38based on quote that much time but there are no games between now and then. So it's also as we

01:44always hear hamstring injuries are so tricky. There's a high level of recurrence. So this could

01:50be something where it's like actually he'd only be out two weeks or whatever if this were a game

01:55week. But why would we push this? Why would we push this for me? That's fair. You know what I mean?

02:00So it may just be one of those things where they're like let's play this really really safe

02:04and Ricky you'll do your stuff off to the side as we ramp you up and let's have you ready for the

02:09last few days of the month of July. It may be that. But I'm not dismissing what you're saying

02:16at all. I am a huge huge Ricky Pearsall fan. I am very high on where Ricky can go this year. I think

02:25he can absolutely be their number one receiver. That's my baseline right now for Ricky Pearsall

02:31and there's no reason I see for concern yet unless this does in some way bleed into stuff that

02:42actually matters for the 49ers because that is not a position where they can afford to lose one

02:48of their top guys out of the gate of the season. And the date where it really starts to matter is

02:52July 25th. You're right. The opening of camp. So if it's just a couple more weeks of this offseason

02:59stuff then yeah you don't want to rush him back. So it could just be a minor grade one where you're

03:04just gonna hold him out as a precaution and after two weeks well you're done for the summer anyway

03:09until July. So not necessarily totally alarming but just bad news to to have an offseason that went

03:16pretty much the way you had hoped. Your quarterback got done. Your tight end got done. Your linebacker

03:22came back. He's done. Whatever free agent moves you did. Heck you found yourselves a new punter

03:27and you drafted a bunch of guys. Today was supposed to be a day of all positive news and now it comes

03:33out that he's got a hamstring. That's a bummer. Okay I got a little bit more on it. Okay Kosh

03:37Shanahan said Pearsall he used the word tweaked. He tweaked his hamstring. Okay. Okay not likely to

03:44practice in full until training camp starts in July. And then you know they talk about a couple other

03:51players who are dealing with a little this or a little of that but they used the word tweaked

03:56which I think makes it that that leans a little bit in the direction of this is precautionary.

04:01No? Perhaps. I mean I wonder if uh Steph Curry's would have been uh characterized as a tweak

04:07and ultimately I'm sure Ricky Pearsall will get an MRI as soon as today and it will either be revealed

04:14or not revealed the relative grade of said tweak. I don't know if it happened today but uh okay he

04:21was working today but on the side. All right. So he was working out today but not in the seven on

04:27seven drills. The Niners top three receivers. Want to take a guess? Top three receivers today. Are we

04:34doing stats? Seven on seven drills. May 29th. No no no just who's who went out there to be their

04:39receivers. I don't know. I'm not talking about who got catches. Oh I thought you had numbers over

04:44there. No like who they no no just like who they sent out there. Gotcha. Who they sent out there

04:48as their one two and three. Jawan Jennings. That's correct. Jacob Cowing. That's correct. And I would

04:53guess Demarcus Robinson. Very good. Those are your top three receivers. There you go. Yeah nice. I mean it's

05:01exciting and you've got uh Cowing who barely played last year. Jawan man he had a monster year and

05:07Demarcus Robinson who I would anticipate gets suspended for two maybe three games. His DUI I

05:14was looking at some of the details yesterday it involved him going 100 miles an hour. That's not

05:18okay. No. So not only is a DUI not okay but when you add in an extreme high rate of speed. That's how

05:26people get killed. Correct. Yeah. And you know we've seen it before uh Henry Ruggs and in others so. Still in

05:32jail. Correct. Yeah. So if I were the Niners I would be anticipating three games. I don't even

05:37know when that will be handed down but. Yeah I don't know. You know he could be when he comes

05:42back he could be a very productive receiver for him. No doubt. No doubt. Yeah. So anyway that's

05:47kind of the baseline and we'll have more from what Kyle Shanahan said as we kind of watch it all

05:54unfold on social media and as the Niners start to post things but Kyle just started talking about a

05:59half hour ago and so some of the nuts and bolts of that we'll have throughout the day but that's the

06:04lead. Ricky Pearsall's got a hamstring injury. Probably not going to participate with the team

06:09for OTAs and mini camp over the next couple of weeks but late July they'll ramp him back up and

06:16he should be fine unless unless there's some sort of a setback between now and then.
