49ers Receiver Ricky Pearsall Shot, Recovering

San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver Ricky Pearsall was shot in the chest during an attempted robbery in San Francisco but has since been released from the hospital and is recovering. The 49ers placed him on the non-football injury list, meaning he will miss at least the first four games of the season. Pearsall was attacked while walking to his car and was aided by police who quickly responded to the scene, apprehending a 17-year-old suspect. His mother confirmed that the bullet missed vital organs, and Pearsall is in good spirits. Drafted in the first round with the 31st overall pick, Pearsall has faced previous injuries during training camp. The team has opened a roster spot by placing him on the injury list, allowing them to adjust their lineup accordingly.
