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.

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.
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.
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 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 as the victim of an attempted robbery on 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's a positive sign for his health to hear Lynch's confidence that the first-rounder will suit up at some point in his rookie season.
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.
The 49ers placed Pearsall (shoulder/chest) 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 as the victim of an alleged 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.
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.
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.
Pearsall (shoulder) was involved in a shooting Saturday in San Francisco and is in stable condition, Sean Cunningham of KTXL Fox 40 reports. Per Cunningham, Pearsall was shot "through the chest in a robbery attempt over a Rolex" as the rookie was headed to a signing event. There was a struggle for the gun, Cunningham added, and both Pearsall and the suspect were shot. Teammate Deebo Samuel said Pearsall is "good."
