Ricky Pearsall scores first NFL touchdown just 71 days after being shot

Ricky Pearsall’s comeback to the gridiron likely now feels complete as he scored his first NFL touchdown just 71 days after being shot. 

The 49ers wide receiver was shot during a robbery attempt in San Francisco in late August, sustaining a bullet wound to the chest during the altercation and was in serious-but-stable condition.

The shooting occurred nine days before what was to be his NFL debut against the New York Jets.
