To offset a surge of early injuries this season, San Francisco has added veterans like Brandin Cooks, Dante Pettis and Matthew Judon. Their biggest addition so far, however, already is on the team, as defensive lineman Mykel Williams' 21-day practice window officially opened Wednesday while the 49ers evaluate his return from the PUP list. On this episode of "49ers Talk," co-hosts Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan discuss how the 49ers will manage their roster in the short-term as players arrive to provide depth and return from injuries. Later, the duo provides context to the offensive line's historical start and how the unit has enabled Brock Purdy to open the season without a single sack.

Brock Purdy and the 49ers were nearly perfect offensively in their 35-13 win over the Dolphins on Sunday at Levi's Stadium.

It came as no surprise when 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan announced Wednesday that wide receiver De'Zhaun Stribling and tight end Jake Tonges would miss significant time following a rash of Week 1 injuries, given San Francisco's history.

Third-year wideout Ricky Pearsall's season is over before it started, following his decision to undergo surgery on a lingering PCL injury that hindered him most of last year.

The 49ers have had their fair share of training camp injuries over the years. One player uniquely familiar with those setbacks, Ricky Pearsall, seems to have been bitten by the injury bug again in camp. There is concern about the swelling in Pearsall's right knee related to the PCL injury in Week 4 of last season that cost him a significant chunk of time. With Christian Kirk still sidelined because of a calf injury, the door is ajar for a wideout lower on the depth chart to make a significant contribution. On this episode of "49ers Talk," Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan discuss the impact of Pearsall's absence and if rookie De'Zhaun Stribling is ready to fill the void. Later, Matt and Jennifer shed light on coach Kyle Shanahan's recovery from concussion symptoms sustained during his accident.
