Ricky Pearsall Injury: Ruled out again

Pearsall (knee) won't play Sunday against the Giants, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

He's ruled out for a fifth straight game and still hasn't returned to practice, but reports this week at least pointed to progress with Pearsall's side work. His lack of participation in actual practices nonetheless hints at significant risk of missing time beyond Week 9.
