    SANTA CLARA, Calif. — San Francisco 49ers rookie receiver Ricky Pearsall was shot Saturday afternoon in downtown San Francisco.

    San Francisco mayor London Breed announced on X that Pearsall was shot in the Union Square area of the city during a robbery attempt. Breed added that the San Francisco Police Department was on the scene immediately and that the suspect was arrested.

    NBC Bay Area reported that Pearsall is in stable condition. Fellow 49ers receiver Deebo Samuel posted that “he’s good” in reference to Pearsall and a team source confirmed to ESPN that Pearsall is expected to be OK.

    The Niners selected Pearsall with the No. 31 pick in April’s NFL draft out of the University of Florida.
