What happened: Brock Purdy completed 14 of 18 throws during team periods. San Francisco is exploring all options for Ricky Pearsall after expressing concern about his knee.

Why it matters: The flare-up disrupts Pearsall's preparation for the upcoming 2026 season. His availability also affects Purdy's opportunity to build continuity with the receiving corps.

By the numbers: Purdy completed 77.8% of his 18 throws in team periods. Pearsall missed eight weeks and a wild-card game with knee and ankle injuries last season.

What to watch: Pearsall's evaluation and participation status will determine the next step. Purdy's progress bears watching through the next camp practices.
