San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall reunited with the first responders that helped save his life after he was shot during a robbery last month.
Pearsall was joined on the field by Sgt. Joelle Harrell and Dr. Lucy Kornblith, presenting each with a signed jersey in the middle of the first quarter.
Pearsall was in street clothes on the sideline for the game against the New York Jets with no obvious signs of lingering injuries from the shooting nine days after it occurred.
The rookie first-round draft pick sustained a bullet wound to the chest during the altercation and was in serious-but-stable condition.
Pearsall reportedly targeted over his Rolex watch. The 23-year-old Arizona native was one week away from his first NFL game, although his status for tonight’s game was already clouded by a shoulder injury.

The teenager accused of shooting San Francisco 49ers player Ricky Pearsall in the chest last weekend allegedly carried a gun into his high school the prior week, DailyMail.com has learned.
A police report in the 17-year-old’s hometown in Tracy, California, confirmed the prior incident took place on Tuesday, August 21 at Stein High School, an alternative school for students who’ve had trouble in the district’s general population.
Police have an open case on the incident, and the student was disciplined by the school, sources tell DailyMail.com.
The student’s name and specifics, however, were left blacked out of the heavily redacted police report police said, because it involves a minor. The school district also refused to discuss the incident and referred all questions to the San Francisco police department.
DailyMail.com knows the teen’s identity, but is not reporting it due to his age.
