BREAKING NEWS Ricky Pearsall set to make NFL debut for 49ers against Chiefs seven weeks after being shot in San Francisco READ MORE: Pearsall shooter is guilty of botched robbery, says public defender By Oliver Salt Published: 23:00, 18 October 2024 | Updated: 23:26, 18 October 2024 e-mail View comments San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall is finally set to make his NFL debut this weekend - just over a month since he was shot in a failed robbery attempt. Pearsall, 24, sustained minor injuries after being shot by a 17-year-old boy who targeted him for his Rolex watch in San Francisco at the end of August. The defendant was arrested nearby and charged with attempted murder, assault with a semiautomatic weapon and attempted second-degree robbery, as well as several gun charges.
Almost seven weeks on from the incident, Pearsall is now poised to line up in the NFL for the first time when the Niners face the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan has revealed they will be activating Pearsall as they look to avenge their devastating Super Bowl loss to Patrick Mahomes and Co back in February. San Francisco 49ers receiver Ricky Pearsall is finally set to make his NFL debut this weekend 'The guys are pumped.
He's been around the guys for a while now, so it's not like he hasn't been around, but practicing all week,' Shanahan said about his new receiver. 'It's been great to see him out there. I think the guys were real happy for him that he could.
