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.
