SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — San Francisco 49ers rookie receiver Ricky Pearsall made a triumphant return to the field on Monday for practice, marking his first appearance since being shot in the chest during an attempted robbery just nine days before the season opener.
Pearsall, who is currently on the non-football injury list, was given the green light by the 49ers to start practicing with the team. The coaching staff has a three-week window to decide when to activate him for games, with no specific timeline set for his return to game action.
