San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan explained why the team did not open up rookie wide receiver Ricky Pearsall’s practice window on Wednesday in a way that only he could.

“I just don’t feel like he’s ready to this week,” Shanahan said:

“I don’t really watch the guys rehab and stuff. I just get reports on it and talk to the guys. I know he’s really close. When he’s good to go, himself and the medical staff, we’ll be pumped to have him back. Ricky’s a hell of a player.”

Shanahan said that Pearsall’s shoulder was fine before he got hurt.
