San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall was shot in the chest during an attempted robbery over the weekend, but he is already back getting ready for the 2024 season.
Niners radio analyst Tim Ryan mentioned on KNBR Tuesday that he talked to Pearsall on Monday and that the rookie was “in the weight room.”
“I talked to him yesterday, he was actually in the weight room,” Ryan said. “Thank God it’s not worse than it was. … I already know this, his street cred has gone up tremendously around here.”
Pearsall was shot in the Union Square area of San Francisco on Saturday by someone who reportedly tried to steal the former Florida star’s Rolex watch.
A video later showed Pearsall walking to an ambulance after he was shot.
Pearsall’s mother said in a social media post on Sunday that the bullet entered through her son’s chest and exited through his back, luckily missing all vital organs.
The 49ers have decided to keep Pearsall out for at least the first four games of the season.
