• 49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Back to working out

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  Coach Kyle Shanahan revealed Friday that Pearsall (chest/shoulder) resumed working out at the 49ers' facilities this week, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports. Pearsall suffered a gunshot wound during an attempted robbery on Aug. 31, but he was discharged from the hospital one day later before the 49ers placed him on the reserve/non-football injury list on Labor Day. Since then, it was revealed that the team expected the rookie first-round pick to return when first eligible Week 5, and getting back to working out, including in the weight room, is a decent sign that he's on track for such an outcome. For as long as Pearsall remains sidelined, Jauan Jennings will remain San Francisco's No. 3 WR behind starters Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk.

• 49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Aiming for Week 5 return

  11D ago • By RotoWire

  The 49ers have an expectation that Pearsall (chest) will be able to play when first eligible to return from the reserve/non-football injury list Week 5, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. Pearsall sustained a gunshot wound during an attempted robbery last Saturday and was discharged from the hospital one day later before the 49ers placed him on reserve/NFI on Labor Day. The rookie first-round pick returned to team facilities Tuesday, and head coach Kyle Shanahan told David Lombardi of The Athletic on Friday that Pearsall will rest up for about one week before beginning the rehab process in earnest. San Francisco hosts the Cardinals in Week 5 on Oct. 6, which gives Pearsall roughly one month to get back to full health. Jauan Jennings will handle the No. 3 receiver role behind Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk during Pearsall's absence.

• 49ers' Ricky Pearsall: To begin rehab in roughly one week

  14D ago • By RotoWire

  Coach Kyle Shanahan said Pearsall (chest/shoulder) will focus on resting for roughly one more week before beginning his rehab process, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports. Pearsall, who will have to spend at least the first four games of the season on the reserve/non-football injury list, is in the early stages of recovery after having sustained a gunshot wound during an attempted robbery over the weekend. General manager John Lynch said Wednesday that he expects Pearsall to play in his rookie season, but it remains to be seen what sort of recovery timetable the 49ers have in mind. It's encouraging, though, that Pearsall is already nearing clearance to start rehab work. To begin the regular season, Jauan Jennings (oblique) looks set to operate as the No. 3 wideout behind Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk.

  Pearsall (chest/shoulder) was placed on the reserve/non-football injury list Monday and returned to San Francisco's team facilities Tuesday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports. Pearsall managed to rejoin the team in some capacity just two days after Saturday's robbery attempt in which he sustained a gunshot wound to the chest. San Francisco will doubtless take a cautious approach with the rookie first-round pick's recovery, but it's encouraging to see Pearsall already back at the team facilities. Due to his placement on the reserve/NFI list, Pearsall will not be eligible to suit up for the 49ers' first four games of the regular season.

  17D ago • By RotoWire

  The 49ers placed Pearsall (chest/shoulder) on the reserve/non-football injury list Monday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. Pearsall's placement on the reserve/NFI list rules him out for at least the first four games of the regular season after he sustained a gunshot wound to the chest as the victim of a robbery attempt Saturday. The rookie first-round pick was discharged from San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center on Sunday after having had his condition upgraded from "serious" to "fair" earlier in the day.
