Ricky Pearsall Set to Make 49ers Debut Just Two Months After Getting Shot

The San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver has yet to make his NFL debut, which was delayed after being the victim of a shooting during training camp, but he’s set to be activated to play this Sunday.

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed Pearsall’s status on Friday.

Pearsall was shot in the chest in late August by a robber in San Francisco, according to police reports.

Pearsall had been walking alone in San Francisco’s Union Square during the afternoon when a 17-year-old armed attempted to rob him of his luxury watch, and the struggle over the watch left the wide-out shot in the chest.
