Ricky Pearsall to Make 49ers Debut After Surviving Gunshot Wound

Cleared to play against the Chiefs, Pearsall returns to the field just 50 days after a near-fatal shooting incident.

Pearsall was shot in the chest during an attempted robbery in San Francisco on August 31, but he made a rapid recovery.
Coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed Pearsall's activation from the non-football injury list after a strong week of practice.
With Jauan Jennings out due to a hip injury, Pearsall is expected to see significant playing time alongside Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk.
Pearsall, the 31st overall pick in the NFL draft, is anticipated to contribute both as a receiver and on special teams.
The suspect in Pearsall's shooting, a 17-year-old from Tracy, California, faces charges including attempted murder and robbery.
