49ers rookie wide receiver Ricky Pearsall took a big step on Monday in returning to the team on the field.

All eyes were on Pearsall as he began practicing with the team. He is recovering from a gunshot wound to the chest. The incident happened Aug. 31 during a robbery attempt in San Francisco.

The 49ers have opened up an evaluation window to decide whether Pearsall will be taken off the injured reserveโ€™ status and activated for games, including the teamโ€™s upcoming Super Bowl rematch with the Kansas City Chiefs.
