Ricky Pearsall - Placed on NFI list Monday The 49ers placed Pearsall (shoulder/chest) on the reserve/non-football injury list Monday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Pearsall's placement on the reserve/NFI list rules him out for at least the first four games of the regular season after he sustained a gunshot wound as the victim of an alleged robbery attempt Saturday. The rookie first-round pick was discharged from San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center on Sunday after having had his condition upgraded from "serious" to "fair" earlier in the day.

Ricky Pearsall - Discharged from hospital Sunday Pearsall (shoulder/chest) was released from the hospital Sunday afternoon.

Impact Pearsall was upgraded from 'serious' to 'fair' condition by San Francisco General Hospital earlier Sunday, and he's now been given the go-ahead to return home. That is obviously great news for the rookie receiver's outlook after he was shot in the chest as the victim of an alleged robbery attempt Saturday.

Ricky Pearsall - Condition upgraded to fair Pearsall (shoulder/chest) was upgraded to fair condition by San Francisco General Hospital on Sunday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Pearsall was shot in the chest as the target of an alleged attempted robbery in San Francisco on Saturday and was initially listed as being in serious condition. Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, Pearsall's mother posted on social media earlier Sunday that the bullet that hit the rookie receiver exited out his back and missed his vital organs. While these updates provide optimism about Pearsall's chances of making a full recovery, more should be known upon further evaluation by his medical team.

2024 NFL Predictions: Who takes the AFC and NFC South titles this season?

Our FOX Sports personalities are giving their predictions ahead of the 2024 NFL season. Who do they have going to the playoffs?

AUGUST 30

Jake Tonges - Survives roster cuts Tonges was one of three tight ends kept on the 49ers' active roster heading into Week 1 of the regular season.

Impact San Francisco surprisingly kept the undrafted Tonges over 2023 third-round pick Cameron Latu when finalizing rosters earlier this week. The latter was picked up by Cleveland as an addition to its practice squad, while Tonges immediately becomes one of the primary backups to starter George Kittle after earning zero snaps in 2023 as a reserve. Now the question becomes how Tonges is deployed behind his superstar teammate -- in terms of playing time and targets -- compared to fellow backup Eric Saubert.
