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. 

โ€œIโ€™ve been real happy with his progress so far,โ€ Shanahan said, via Grant Gordon of NFL.com. โ€œItโ€™s tough when you have a hammy and you have to be very smart getting him back,โ€ Shanahan said. โ€œWeโ€™ve eased him in, heโ€™s gone through that real well. Heโ€™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. Itโ€™s a higher practice. We have one-on-ones tomorrow.โ€

Cardinals

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

โ€œYou watch Ray Lewis, Patrick Willis, and NaVorro Bowman and all those guys, they ainโ€™t just letting the quarterback run around,โ€ White said, via the teamโ€™s website. โ€œTheyโ€™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 ainโ€™t close yet. Iโ€™ll get there one day eventually. God willing.โ€
