Rookie Ricky Pearsall records first NFL catch vs. Chiefs

In Week 7 of the 2024 NFL campaign, the San Francisco 49ers hosted the Kansas City Chiefs in a highly-anticipated rematch of last season’s Super Bowl. Along with the Super Bowl rematch, Sunday also marked the NFL debut of 49ers first-round pick Ricky Pearsall.

Prior to the start of the season, Pearsall suffered a gunshot wound to the chest in an attempted robbery. After missing the first six weeks of his rookie year, Pearsall suited for the first time as a member of the 49ers.

In the second quarter against the defending champions, Pearsall secured his first career NFL catch. Brock Purdy tossed Pearsall a pass for six yards in the second quarter against the Chiefs.

With Jauan Jennings ruled out and Deebo Samuel dealing with an illness, the 49ers will need to continue to lean on their rookie receiver against the Chiefs on Sunday.
