Coach Kyle Shanahan noted Monday that the 49ers will continue monitoring Pearsall (knee) ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

The San Francisco 49ers are playing against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday Night Football. Will they have George Kittle, Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall on the roster?

Managers who picked up and played Ricky Pearsall had plenty of reason to pat themselves on the back in September. However, October has been a different story thus far.

Ricky Pearsall -- last in action in Week 4 -- and the San Francisco 49ers face the Houston Texans in Week 8, on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET. His stats from his previous game: 4 receptions, 46 yards. Game Time: 1 p.m.

He didn't practice this week due to a PCL injury in his right knee and thus appears in serous danger of missing another game when the 49ers travel to Houston in Week 8. Jauan Jennings and Kendrick Bourne are San Francisco's top wide receivers with Pearsall out of action yet again.

The 49ers are dealing with a countless amount of injuries heading into Week 5. Is Ricky Pearsall one of the players set to be sidelined?

Oddsmakers have given Kyle Shanahan and the San Francisco 49ers the utmost respect this season. Through seven games, the only games the Niners weren’t favored to win came against the Los Angeles Rams on a short week without Brock Purdy, Ricky Pearsall, and Jauan Jennings, and a road trip in a tough spot against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The 49ers offense will again have to improvise with Mac Jones having to rely on wide receivers not named Ricky Pearsall.
