49ers Prepare for Chiefs Amid Injury Concerns

San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver Ricky Pearsall is set to return to practice after being shot during an attempted robbery in late August. Despite the severity of the incident, Pearsall avoided major injuries and is now on a recovery path, with the 49ers opening his 21-day practice window. Head coach Kyle Shanahan stated they will take a cautious approach to Pearsall's return, ensuring he is fully ready before rejoining games. Meanwhile, star running back Christian McCaffrey remains sidelined due to Achilles tendinitis, with no immediate plans for his return to practice. The 49ers, currently facing multiple injuries among key players, improved their season record to 3-3 after a win against the Seattle Seahawks. They are preparing for an upcoming Super Bowl rematch against the Kansas City Chiefs.
