49ers' Ricky Pearsall scores first NFL TD 2 months after being shot in the chest

Ricky Pearsall is back and on the board.

Just two months since he was shot in the chest on the streets of San Francisco, the rookie 49ers receiver scored the first touchdown of his NFL career on Sunday.

The score gave the 49ers and early 7-0 lead over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Pearsall showed off the speed that made him a first-round draft pick in April to get into the end zone.

On second-and-5 from the San Francisco 46-yard line, Brock Purdy looked to Pearsall on a pass over the middle of the field.
