The San Francisco 49ers’ wide receiver problems grew earlier this week when they placed Brandon Aiyuk on the reserve/left squad list.

It's clear the 49ers are relying on Pearsall to become Aiyuk's successor in the receiving corps — this season and in the future.

On Sunday, the 49ers beat Tennessee 37-24, and Aiyuk's replacement, Ricky Pearsall, had six catches for 96 yards.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Brock Purdy threw three touchdown passes and the San Francisco 49ers started the stretch run of their season with a 37-24 victory over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.

Two defensive stars were lost for the season. Their QB missed multiple games. Still, here are the 49ers are, a game out of the No. 1 seed.

Their confidence is only increasing, and a potential path to the NFC’s No. 1 seed is in sight, results permitting. The true test looms with three potential playoff-locked teams on the horizon: the Indianapolis Colts, the Chicago Bears, and the Seattle Seahawks.
