Ricky Pearsall, a wide receiver, was wounded in the chest during an attempted robbery over the weekend, and the 49ers placed him on the reserve/non-football injury list Monday.
While it is unclear how much playing time the rookie is anticipated to lose, his inclusion on the list implies he will miss at least the first four games of the season.
To fill the roster void, the 49ers announced that offensive tackle Brandon Parker had signed a one-year contract.
The San Francisco Police Department reported that Pearsall was shot Saturday afternoon.
Police arrived at the location around 3:37 p.m. and discovered two injured guys, according to the SFPD. Officers learned that one male attempted to rob Pearsall, resulting in a physical confrontation that injured both the suspect and the victim.
Pearsall was hospitalized overnight and released the next day.
The suspect is a 17-year-old male from Tracy, California, according to The Associated Press. He remains in police detention, with charges pending.
Pearsall was the 49ers’ 31st overall pick in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft.
