San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall went on the reserve/non-football injury list on Monday after he was shot in the chest during a robbery attempt over the weekend.

Pearsall, 23, will miss at least the first four games of his rookie season following the incident in San Franciso’s Union Square on Saturday afternoon. To fill the vacancy on their 53-man roster, the 49ers signed offensive tackle Brandon Parker to a one-year deal.

According to the San Francisco Police Department, Pearsall was shot after a 17-year-old male tried to rob him. A struggle ensued, per SFPD, and both were shot.

Pearsall was upgraded to fair condition Sunday and released from the hospital later that day.

The suspect was arrested Saturday as he attempted to run from the scene, San Francisco police chief William Scott said. The alleged gunman also was hospitalized after the shooting – his condition was not immediately disclosed — and charges against him are pending.

Pearsall was signing autographs at an event earlier Saturday before heading to Union Square, according to ABC 7 San Francisco.

The 49ers selected Pearsall, a wide receiver who will turn 24 on Sept. 9, with the 31st pick in the April draft, and he signed a four-year, $12.5 million guaranteed contract with a $5.9 million signing bonus.

He was limited in training camp because of shoulder and hamstring issues, missing all three preseason games. He has a history of shoulder problems dating to his college days at Florida.
