49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Not returning to practice this week
Pearsall (chest) won't return to practice this week, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan made the announcement Wednesday, two days after he said that a decision hadn't yet been made about when Pearsall might resume practicing. It's unclear how much the decision is about Pearsall needing more time to recover, as the 49ers may be slow-playing things because they don't need help at wide receiver with Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk and Jauan Jennings all healthy right now.

49ers' Ricky Pearsall: No decision yet on return to drills
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that the 49ers haven't made a decision whether or not to open Pearsall's (chest) practice window this week, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.
Pearsall has resided on the reserve/non-football injury list since he suffered a gunshot wound during an attempted robbery on Aug. 31, keeping him out of commission for the first four games of the campaign. He's eligible to return as soon as Week 5, but Shanahan appears to be keeping the situation close to the vest. Pearsall resumed working out during Week 2 prep, and he even ran routes on a side field on Sept. 20. With Deebo Samuel only missing one game (Week 3) due to a recent strained hamstring, the team may feel that they have a bit more leeway with Pearsall considering both Samuel and Aiyuk were able to suit up Sunday against the Patriots.

49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Running routes at practice
Pearsall (chest) ran routes on a side field Thursday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Barrows notes that Pearsall was making sharp cuts and appeared to be running at full speed, which supports earlier reports that the rookie hopes to be ready for games when he's first eligible to return from injured reserve Week 5. Pearsall's role at that point will partially depend on the health of San Francisco's other pass catchers, namely WR Deebo Samuel, who is expected to miss the next two or three games with a calf injury. While nobody can truly replace Samuel's unique blend of talents, Pearsall was highly successful with his limited opportunities as a ball carrier in five seasons between ASU and Florida, taking 21 career rush attempts for 253 yards and five TDs.

49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Back to working out
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
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
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.

49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Expected to play this season
49ers general manager John Lynch said Tuesday that he expects Pearsall (chest/shoulder) to come off the reserve/non-football injury and play at some point this season, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Lynch said Pearsall's recovery has been "nothing short of miraculous," as the rookie wide receiver returned to team facilities Tuesday after having been shot during an attempted robbery Saturday. Due to having been placed on the reserve/NFI list on Monday, Pearsall is ruled out for at least the first four games of the regular season, but it appears as though the 2024 first-rounder will suit up at some point in his rookie season.

49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Present at team facilities
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.

49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Placed on NFI list Monday
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.

49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Discharged from hospital Sunday
The 49ers announced that Pearsall (shoulder/chest) was released Sunday from San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center.
Pearsall was upgraded from "serious" to "fair" condition earlier Sunday, and he's now been given clearance to return home. The development is obviously great news for the rookie receiver after he was shot in the chest as the victim of an alleged robbery attempt Saturday.

49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Condition upgraded to fair
Pearsall (shoulder/chest) was upgraded to fair condition by San Francisco General Hospital on Sunday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Pearsall was shot in the chest as the target of an alleged attempted robbery in San Francisco on Saturday and was initially listed as being in serious condition. Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, Pearsall's mother posted on social media earlier Sunday that the bullet that hit the rookie receiver exited out his back and missed his vital organs. While these updates provide optimism about Pearsall's chances of making a full recovery, more should be known upon further evaluation by his medical team.

49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Stable after being shot in chest
Pearsall (shoulder) was the victim of a shooting Saturday in San Francisco and is in stable condition, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.
Per Cunningham, Pearsall was shot "through the chest in a robbery attempt over a Rolex" as the rookie was leaving a signing event and headed to San Francisco's Union Square. Cunningham added that both Pearsall and the suspect were shot following a struggle for control of the gun.
