San Francisco 49ers receiver Ricky Pearsall was released from the hospital on Sunday after suffering a bullet wound to the chest. The first-round draft pick out of Florida was shot during an alleged attempted robbery at San Francisco's Union Square on Saturday.
Pearsall's mother posted an update on social media that said her son was shot through the chest, but the bullet didn't hit any vital organs.
However, blood loss could have been a fatal factor for Pearsall if not for the intervention of a San Francisco Police sergeant who quickly found the receiver on the scene.
