San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall, who was shot in the chest Saturday afternoon during an attempted robbery in central San Francisco, was upgraded to fair condition on Sunday.

Pearsall, 23, had been listed as "serious but stable condition" at San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center.

Pearsall's mother said Sunday in a social media post that the bullet exited out her son's back and missed his vital organs, adding that he is "extremely lucky."

The suspect, a 17-year old male from Tracy, California, was arrested Saturday, according to San Francisco Police Chief William Scott.
