49ers Rookie Ricky Pearsall to Resume Practice After Shooting Recovery

Pearsall returns to the field two months post-injury as San Francisco preps for a key matchup against Kansas City.

Ricky Pearsall, the 49ers' first-round draft pick, was shot in the chest during an attempted robbery in San Francisco on August 31.
Pearsall avoided serious organ and nerve damage and has been cleared to start practicing next week.
The 49ers have a 21-day window to evaluate Pearsall's readiness before deciding on his activation from the non-football injury list.
San Francisco's receiving corps has struggled, and Pearsall's return could provide a boost alongside Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel.
The team is managing other injuries, including running back Christian McCaffrey's Achilles tendinitis and kicker Matthew Wright's shoulder issue.
