CNN —San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall will be activated for the team’s Week 7 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan, seven weeks after he was shot in the chest during an attempted robbery in San Francisco’s Union Square.
He’s been around the guys for a while now, so it’s not like he hasn’t been around, but practicing all week,” Shanahan said.
“He’s got roles on special teams, he’s got his role at receiver, and we’ll see how the game unfolds.
San Francisco has been ravaged by injuries throughout the season, with star running back Christian McCaffrey still on injured reserve and yet to play this season.
San Francisco faces a tall task on Sunday against the Patrick Mahomes-led Chiefs, who defeated the 49ers in the Super Bowl in February.
