The San Francisco 49ers are bolstering their defensive line with the return of defensive tackle Kalia Davis, while rookie receiver Ricky Pearsall remains sidelined following a shooting incident. Coach Kyle Shanahan indicated Pearsall is close to returning but is being cautious due to the physical and emotional impact of his recovery.

Linebacker Fred Warner expressed excitement for Pearsall's eventual return, highlighting his competitive spirit. Davis, who missed time due to a knee injury, is expected to enhance the defensive rotation after losing starter Javon Hargrave to injury.
