Just days after he was shot during an alleged attempted robbery, San Francisco 49ers rookie Ricky Pearsall is back with the team.

And though it’s still early, Niners general manager John Lynch is confident that Pearsall will be out on the field shortly to make his debut.

Pearsall was released from the hospital on Sunday after the incident at San Francisco’s Union Square the day before, which resulted in Pearsall taking a bullet to the chest. The bullet didn’t hit any vital organs, and Pearsall is now recovering after being hospitalized.
