San Francisco 49ers rookie receiver Ricky Pearsall is expected to make a full recovery after being shot during an attempted robbery last weekend. Pearsall was hit in the chest and hospitalized overnight but was released the following day and has already returned to the team facility.

The Niners have placed Pearsall on the non-football injury list, sidelining him for at least four weeks to allow him time to recover from the shooting and a pre-existing shoulder injury. General manager John Lynch expressed confidence in Pearsall's long-term potential with the team and emphasized the importance of giving him the necessary physical, emotional, and mental support during this time.
