NFC Notes: Brandon Aiyuk, Ricky Pearsall, 49ers, Cardinals, Seahawks

49ers

49ers first-round WR Ricky Pearsall was hampered by a hamstring injury to start camp but HC Kyle Shanahan has been impressed by his improvement thus far. 

“I’ve been real happy with his progress so far,” Shanahan said, via Grant Gordon of NFL.com. “It’s tough when you have a hammy and you have to be very smart getting him back,” Shanahan said. “We’ve eased him in, he’s gone through that real well. He’s been real diligent with his rehab and stuff. I know his reps went up a little bit more today, but it was a low day overall and I think tomorrow will be a much bigger challenge. It’s a higher practice. We have one-on-ones tomorrow.”

Cardinals

Cardinals LB Kyzir White hopes to elevate his game to the likes of former greats at the middle linebacker spot.

You watch Ray Lewis, Patrick Willis, and NaVorro Bowman and all those guys, they ain’t just letting the quarterback run around,” White said, via the team’s website. “They’re trying to knock their head off. I want to be in that caliber of linebacker. I want to strive to be as good as those guys. I ain’t close yet. I’ll get there one day eventually. God willing.
