On Saturday, San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver Ricky Pearsall was shot through the chest during an attempted robbery in downtown San Francisco. It was quickly reported the first-round pick was stable and recovering, but the NFL world anxiously awaited further updates on the situation.
On Sunday morning, Pearsall's mother provided such an update. Erin Pearsall posted on her Facebook profile that Pearsall was in "good spirits" and the bullet had missed all vital organs.
