49ers' Ricky Pearsall Nears Return After Shooting Incident

The rookie wide receiver is recovering well but remains sidelined as the team prioritizes his full recovery.

Ricky Pearsall was shot in the chest during an attempted robbery in San Francisco on August 31 but avoided serious injury.
The 49ers have not yet opened Pearsall's practice window, indicating he is close but not ready to return to the field.
Pearsall, drafted in the first round, missed most of training camp due to hamstring and shoulder injuries before the shooting.
Head Coach Kyle Shanahan and teammates express optimism about Pearsall's recovery and potential impact on the team's offense.
Pearsall will have a 21-day practice window once cleared, after which he must be activated or placed on injured reserve.
