San Francisco 49ers rookie receiver Ricky Pearsall has been upgraded from serious to fair condition following a gunshot wound sustained during an attempted robbery in Union Square. Pearsall was shot in the chest while trying to resist a 17-year-old assailant who attempted to steal his Rolex watch. Initial reports indicated the bullet exited his back and missed vital organs, raising hopes for a full recovery. The suspect is in custody and will face charges in juvenile court, while authorities emphasize that Pearsall does not appear to have been specifically targeted due to his status as a football player. The incident has overshadowed the team's preseason activities, but Pearsall remains in good spirits as he recovers.
