Ricky Pearsall's Return Hinges on Full Recovery

49ers rookie wide receiver Ricky Pearsall, who was shot in the chest during an attempted robbery on August 31, remains on the non-football injury list and has not been cleared to practice. Coach Kyle Shanahan stated that Pearsall is close to returning but not quite ready, emphasizing that the decision will depend on his full recovery and medical clearance. The 49ers currently have a healthy wide receiver lineup, which may also impact the timing of Pearsall's return. Once designated for return, Pearsall will have a 21-day practice window to be activated or shut down for the season. Additionally, the team has opened the practice window for defensive lineman Kalia Davis, who is recovering from knee surgery. The 49ers have also signed defensive lineman Jonathan Garvin and wide receiver Terique Owens to their practice squad.
