Ricky Pearsall’s latest injury update has fantasy football managers paying close attention, and for good reason. After a promising start to the season, his absence since Week 4 has left many lineups scrambling for consistency. While his recent progress suggested a return might be near, a midweek setback has sparked new concerns.
The real question now: How close is Pearsall to truly getting back on the field?
Ricky Pearsall Injury Update
Pearsall has not played since Week 4 due to a knee injury that was initially categorized as “minor”. Pearsall has been slowly working towards a return and ramping up his practice participation, and has a chance to come back in Week 10.
He did not practice on Wednesday (11/5), once again raising doubts about his availability.

We know that he’s a big play waiting to happen, but in owning such a skill set, he isn’t the type of player I’d be looking to play in his first game back. His status is TBD for right now, but I’m telling you that it shouldn’t matter for our purposes: I’m going to need to see at least four healthy quarters from Pearsall before even putting him on my flex radar.
