Pearsall cleared to play for 49ers; Jauan Jennings

Kyle Shanahan didn't originally intend for rookie wideout Ricky Pearsall to make his NFL debut Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs. But after a week of practice, that's exactly what's going to happen.

The Niners plan to activate Pearsall from the non-football injury list to the active 53-man roster, Shanahan announced Friday. That means that just 50 days after he was shot in the right side of his chest, Pearsall is in line to play his first regular-season snaps against the Chiefs.

"Practicing all week, it's been great to see him out there," Shanahan said. "He's had a hell of a week, and we're pumped to get him out there."

Fellow wide receiver Jauan Jennings was ruled out Friday with a hip injury, while running back Jordan Mason (left shoulder) and wideout Deebo Samuel (wrist) were cleared to play against the Chiefs after being limited in practice during the week.

Pearsall was shot in an alleged armed robbery attempt in the Union Square area of San Francisco on Aug. 31. According to the San Francisco Police Department, a 17-year-old male attempted to rob Pearsall, resulting in a struggle between the two.
