What happened: San Francisco drafted Ricky Pearsall in the first round to develop into a top receiving option. RGIII argued that the departures of Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk leave Pearsall needing to fill a 1b role.
Why it matters: The 49ers held Pearsall out Wednesday with knee swelling, adding an immediate availability concern. His health and development now carry greater weight in San Francisco's plans for the upcoming season.
By the numbers: RGIII's count: 19 games played and 14 missed, an absence rate of 42.4% across 33 possible games.
What to watch: Pearsall's practice status will show whether the knee issue disrupts his training-camp workload.
