49ers’ Ricky Pearsall to miss at least four games on non-football injury list after shooting
NY Post
Ricky Pearsall is set to miss at least the first four games of the NFL season, as he has been placed on the reserve/non-football injury list after the rookie was shot during an attempted robbery in San Francisco.
The 49ers made the decision for their wide receiver on Monday afternoon, which fell 48 hours after the incident.
Pearsall will miss games against the Jets, Vikings, Rams and Patriots, and he would be eligible to return for the team’s fifth game against the Cardinals on Oct. 6.
The team’s first-round draft pick (No. 31 overall) sustained several injuries after being shot in the chest by a 17-year-old, who tried to steal Pearsall’s Rolex watch on Saturday.
The NFLer was walking home alone around 3:37 p.m. in the city’s Union Square near Geary Street, close to Grant Street before there was a struggle over the gun, which fired off several times and hit both Pearsall in the chest as well as the teenager.
A police officer rushed to the scene, praying with Pearsall, and both victims were quickly rushed off to San Francisco General Hospital.
