49ers' Brock Purdy explains growing pains with young WR
2024 was a rollercoaster year for San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall. San Francisco took Pearsall in the first round (No. 31 overall) of the 2024 NFL draft, and he was set to be the team's third or fourth receiver on the depth chart as a rookie before he was shot in the chest right before the season started. After a long recovery, Pearsall made his NFL debut in the team's Week 7 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. He went on to have 31 receptions for 400 yards and three touchdowns in San Francisco's final 11 games of the year. Now, entering his second season in the NFL, Pearsall is dealing with a hamstring injury that's limited his involvement during training camp. Still, when he returns, he's expected to be the team's top wideout until Brandon Aiyuk returns from his ACL rehab. On Friday, 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy was asked about developing chemistry with Pearsall at his media availability, and the quarterback took the time to reflect on Pearsall's rookie season. 'In our offense, it's usually steps, timing, you're breaking at a certain angle, and last year Ricky was raw with his talent," Purdy said. "He had it, but he also had to learn our system, our timing, and where I'm throwing the ball. He's got a lot of shimmy, which is great. We need that, specifically against man coverage, to create separation and we love that. But, I think that there were sometimes when he had to learn that he couldn't take a couple more steps and then break out. I need you there now. I need to get the ball out now. We had a couple of those moments and there were times where he took it a little deeper and then broke open. He was like, 'dude, I was open.' I said in the timing of the play, I needed it quicker. "So, we had moments like that, and that's part of getting to the NFL, learning the system, a quarterback and a receiver talking and getting to know each other. I feel like it has gotten better for sure over the last year or so. I think towards the end of the last season, you saw Ricky come out of his shell. He was playing within our system and timing, so he is going to continue to learn who he is as a receiver and what his strengths are and I'm going to continue to learn with him and that excites me. So, I think we've gotten some pretty good work so far and we're just going to continue to chip away at it." Obviously, Pearsall and Purdy need to be on the field together to work on their chemistry, so the sooner the wideout is back to fully participating in practice, the better. If Pearsall can be the player that everyone thought he could be coming out of Florida, the 49ers' offense may not miss a beat after moving on from 2021 Pro Bowler Deebo Samuel this article originally appeared on Niners Wire: 49ers' Brock Purdy discusses growing pains with WR Ricky Pearsall

Messi injured, Falcon ejected as Inter Miami battles Necaxa in Leagues Cup
Inter Miami faced two huge hurdles early in its Leagues Cup home game against Mexican club Necaxa on a sweltering Saturday evening at Chase Stadium. In the span of six minutes, Miami lost its captain, Lionel Messi, and one of its defensive leaders, Maxi Falcon. Messi left the field with an apparent right upper thigh injury after falling while being challenged by defenders Raul Sanchez and Alexi Pena at the 11-minute mark. He stumbled onto the ground, got up, tried to walk it off, but then sat down and sought medical attention. The crowd went silent as the dejected Argentine star was treated by the team's medical staff before taking off his captain's armband and trudging to the tunnel. Falcon was ejected with a red card six minutes later after slightly tugging on the shirt of Diber Cambindo as he raced toward the edge of the box. Falcon, his teammates, the Miami bench and the home crowd protested the call, but it stood. Messi was replaced by Fede Redondo. Falcon's exit left Miami with 10 men for the remainder of the game. In between the two setbacks, Inter Miami took a 1-0 lead with a brilliant goal by Telasco Segovia with an assist from Rodrigo De Paul, starting his second game since joining the team last week. Holding a lead and down a man, Inter Miami coach Javier Mascherano took a defensive stance and replaced Tadeo Allende with Gonzalo Lujan in the 29th minute. But Necaxa tied it up four minutes later with a left-footed shot by Tomas Badaloni, who got past Noah Allen, starting his first game since injuring his hamstring in the Club World Cup Round of 16 game against Paris Saint-Germain on June 29. Then, at the 60-minute mark, Necaxa defender Cristian Calderon was sent off with a second yellow card, evening the field at 10 vs. 10. Six minutes later, Mascherano made three substitutions for Miami: Sergio Busquets, Noah Allen and Telasco Segovia were replaced by Toto Aviles, Yannick Bright and Benja Cremaschi. Both teams were coming off dramatic wins in their opening Leagues Cup games. Inter Miami defeated Atlas 2-1 on a Chelo Weigandt goal in added time and Necaxa won 3-1 against Atlanta United with a pair of goals by Badaloni in the final 12 minutes. Despite the victories, both teams were desperate to score goals and win again on Saturday because of the new Leagues Cup format. Rather than the traditional group stage format, where a group winner is guaranteed to advance, this tournament divided the field by league, and the top four teams in each league's table after three games qualifies for the knockout round. In other words, a team could win all three of its group games and be eliminated based on goal differential against the other teams in its league. Heading into Saturday's game, Miami was in sixth place among MLS teams with a plus-1 goal differential, behind Seattle (plus-7), Portland (plus-4), LA Galaxy (plus-3), Minnesota (plus-3), and Cincinnati (plus-1). Mascherano went with the same starting lineup as he used in the first Cup game, with one exception. Allen started in place of Lujan. The rest of the starters were: Messi, Busquets, Segovia, Luis Suarez, Jordi Alba, Allende, Falcon, Weigandt, and goalkeeper Rocco Rios-Novo, who took over the starting role in place of injured Oscar Ustari. Defender Ian Fray returned to the active roster after recovering from an adductor injury. He was on the bench along with Lujan, Toto Aviles, Baltasar Rodriguez, Fafa Picault, Will Yarbrough, Benja Cremaschi, David Ruiz, Yannick Bright, Redondo and Santi Morales.
