49ers' Pearsall to make NFL debut after being shot in August
San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver Ricky Pearsall will be active for the first time Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs, head coach Kyle Shanahan announced Friday.
Pearsall missed the 49ers' first six games of the season after being shot during an attempted robbery in San Francisco on Aug. 31. He practiced for the first time this week.
Shanahan said the 24-year-old will be a "full go" against the Chiefs, according to Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports.
The Niners drafted Pearsall in the first round in April. The former Florida stud's NFL debut should help a team that's missing receiver Jauan Jennings, who's been ruled out against Kansas City due to a hip injury. San Francisco also rosters wideouts Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel, among others.
Running back Jordan Mason will face the Chiefs as well despite injuring his shoulder in last week's win over the Seattle Seahawks.
