49ers defensive end Tarron Jackson hospitalized following scary training camp collision
The San Francisco 49ers had a scary scene play out at training camp on Sunday after a collision led to a player being transported to the hospital. Head coach Kyle Shanahan announced that defensive end Tarron Jackson was hospitalized following a collision. He was conscious and had movement in his extremities, though he was transported to Stanford Hospital for evaluation. Beat reporters watching practice saw the scene play out, where Jackson hit the ground hard after being blocked and didn't get up. Trainers went out to check on him, and after several minutes, he was placed on a backboard and taken off the field. Jackson is a player looking to earn a spot on the 49ers' roster entering training camp. He joined their practice squad on a one-year, $1.1 million deal. However, Jackson's injury now leaves that chance of making the 53-man roster up in the air. Jackson would be playing in his fourth NFL season if he were to get on the field. He was a sixth-round pick by the Philadelphia Eagles back in 2021, playing 21 games for the franchise after a stellar career at Coastal Carolina. Jackson's production was off the bench, as he collected 18 tackles and one sack over 17 games his rookie year. He saw just four appearances in 2022 before he was waived by the franchise midway through the season. He would go on to join the Eagles' practice squad, remaining in place there through the 2023 season. Then, in 2024, the Carolina Panthers came calling and Jackson signed with them. He went on to play three games for Carolina last season, though he saw just 28 defensive snaps and 21 special teams plays. The 27-year-old signed with San Francisco in January with hopes of impressing yet another team enough to earn a spot come Week 1.

San Francisco 49ers star Tarron Jackson rushed to the hospital after 'scary' collapse
San Francisco defensive lineman Tarron Jackson was taken to the hospital after collapsing on the field during 49ers training camp. The 27-year-old went down after he was blocked on a play late in practice. He remained on the ground for several minutes before being taken off on a stretcher. An ambulance then rushed Jackson to the hospital but coach Kyle Shanahan later revealed that he was conscious, able to communicate and feel all his extremities. 'So hopefully, we cleared the real scary stuff, and hopefully we´ll get some good news on his neck,' Shanahan said. The 49ers were able to finish practice after Jackson was taken off the field. 'It's always hard... especially when guys watch that,' Shanahan said. 'We were close to him, so we could hear him talking, we could see everything moving, so I just told the guys that, which I think eases them up a little bit for the biggest fears and asked them if they're OK to continue to go. They all yelled "yes," and then we finished our last period and a half.' The 27-year-old Jackson was a sixth-round pick by Philadelphia in 2021 and has played 24 career games for the Eagles and Carolina. He signed with San Francisco in the offseason. The 49ers activated second-year receiver Ricky Pearsall from the physically unable to perform list earlier in the day and he practiced for the first time this summer. 'It was nice,' Shanahan said. 'His rep count was really low. I think he got like eight reps today, but we´ll see how he did with recovery and stuff. But I didn´t hear any complaints and good first day back.' Pearsall had been out since injuring his hamstring during the offseason program. The Niners are counting on a big season from the 2024 first-round pick after trading away Deebo Samuel and with Brandon Aiyuk expected to miss the start of the season recovering from knee surgery. Pearsall had a difficult rookie season, missing almost all of camp with injuries to his hamstring and shoulder and then sitting out the first half of the season after being shot in a robbery attempt in San Francisco. Pearsall returned in Week 7 and finished the season with 31 catches for 400 yards and three touchdowns in 11 games. Pearsall had a strong finish to the season with 14 catches for 210 yards and two touchdowns in the final two games. Cornerback Renardo Green was out after hurting his hamstring in practice on Friday. Shanahan said that he will likely miss a couple of weeks but could return the week of Aug. 11 when the Niners prepare for their second exhibition game against the Raiders. Veteran cornerback Eli Apple agreed to a deal with San Francisco on Sunday, according to his agency Universal Sports Management. The 29-year-old Apple has played 102 games, including four with the Chargers last season. Receiver Jacob Cowing has a similar timeline to Green after hurting his hamstring on the first day of practice last Wednesday. Receiver Jauan Jennings left practice early with a calf injury but quarterback Brock Purdy returned to practice Sunday after missing a session on Friday for personal reasons. 'Brock had some family stuff yesterday, all good news,' Shanahan said. 'I'm sure he'll tell you guys when he talks to you guys next. But Brock was back and didn't miss a beat and it was a good day off for him.'

49ers DE Tarron Jackson hospitalized after collision at training camp
San Francisco 49ers defensive end Tarron Jackson was hospitalized after a collision at training camp on Sunday. Head coach Kyle Shanahan announced the news to reporters after a morning practice session. Per beat writers on the scene, Jackson went down to the turf after being blocked and did not get up. He received treatment on the scene and was taken off the field on a backboard several minutes later. Shanahan told reporters that Jackson was conscious and had movement in his extremities. Jackson was transported to Stanford hospital for further evaluation. The precise nature of his injury was not clear from initial reports. Jackson, 27, joined the 49ers practice squad and signed a one-year, $1.1 million contract. He entered training camp seeking to earn a spot in the rotation and on San Francisco's 53-man roster. Beyond the obvious health concerns, Jackson's injury puts his status on the roster in doubt. Jackson is approaching what would be his fourth NFL season. An All-American at Coastal Carolina, Jackson's played in 24 NFL games since joining Philadelphia Eagles as a sixth-round draft pick in 2021. He played in 17 regular season games off the bench as a rookie. Jackson played in four games in 2022 before the Eagles waived him midseason. He rejoined the Eagles as a member of their practice squad and remained on the practice squad in 2023. He then signed with the Carolina Panthers practice squad in 2024 and played in three games with Carolina during the regular season. Jackson signed with the 49ers in January.
