Everyone at U.S. Soccer is pulling for Jay DeMeritt today as he has surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his.
The NFL is back with the San Francisco opening their season against Aaron Rodgers to get things started on September 10, when they visit New York Jets.
The injury is not that serious and the wide receiver could be back given there are more than a week remaining. But official announcement is still awaited.
Pearsall hails from Phoenix, Arizona. Green was a three-year college football player at Arizona State (2019–2021) before transferring to the University of Florida. In two seasons he had 1627 receiving yards and caught 98 passes with a total of nine touchdowns for the Florida Gators.
The 49ers liked Gabriel so much that they picked him with the final selection of the first round in the draft after he rushed for over 900 yards and caught exactly four passes in a season.
