San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver Ricky Pearsall, 23, was shot during an attempted robbery in the neighborhood of Union Square, San Francisco mayor London Breed announced Saturday. The suspect is in custody; both Pearsall and the shooter are in stable condition at San Francisco General Hospital, per NBC Bay Area.

Pearsall was shot as the suspect attempted to steal his Rolex watch, the San Francisco Police Department told Fox40. The 49ers wideout was en route to a signing event at the time. There was a struggle for the gun, and both Pearsall and the suspect were shot.

The former Florida Gators pass catcher was selected with the No. 31 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft this offseason. He caught 65 passes for 965 yards and four touchdowns last season for the Gators.

Pearsall recently returned to 49ers practice after missing the past three weeks due to a subluxation of his left shoulder, according to NBC Sports Bay Area. 

CBS Sports will update this developing story shortly.
