Ricky Pearsall

49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said Ricky Pearsall (chest, NFI) will be active for Week 7 against the Chiefs.

Pearsall began the season on the NFI list after being shot in the chest during an attempted robbery. The timing of his return couldn’t be any better for the 49ers as they will be without No. 3 receiver Jauan Jennings, who is dealing with a hip injury, this week. All of San Francisco’s pass-catchers are healthy for Week 7 aside for Christian McCaffrey, so Pearsall will play a part-time role at most in his NFL debut. Fantasy managers in deep leagues can take a flyer on the first-round rookie, though he shouldn’t be in any lineups this week.
