Ricky Pearsall Set for NFL Debut After Shooting

Ricky Pearsall, a rookie wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers, is set to make his NFL debut against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, just 50 days after being shot in the chest during an attempted robbery. Coach Kyle Shanahan expressed excitement over Pearsall's return, noting that he practiced without issues throughout the week. The incident occurred on August 31, when a 17-year-old attempted to rob Pearsall in San Francisco's Union Square, resulting in both sustaining gunshot wounds. Pearsall was placed on the non-football injury list but has since recovered, avoiding damage to vital organs and nerves. He is expected to fill a key role in the game, especially with fellow receiver Jauan Jennings sidelined due to injury. Pearsall's quick recovery has been described as miraculous and has provided an emotional boost to the team.
