San Francisco 49ers rookie receiver Ricky Pearsall is poised to make a comeback to practice next week after being shot in the chest during a robbery attempt just nine days before the season opener. Coach Kyle Shanahan announced that the team will open the practice window for Pearsall on Monday as they gear up for a Super Bowl rematch against Kansas City.
Pearsall, who was drafted in the first round in April, had been sidelined for most of the training camp due to hamstring and shoulder injuries but was on track to play in the opener before the unfortunate incident. Despite the setback, Pearsall has made a remarkable recovery and is deemed fit to resume practice.
