Before Monday night’s game, the San Francisco 49ers celebrated the first responders who helped save rookie receiver Ricky Pearsall’s life, after he was shot in a robbery attempt in San Francisco on Aug. 31.
Pearsall and the team acknowledged a surgeon, who helped him recover from the gunshot wound to his chest and a sergeant, who was one of the first people to respond. Pearsall was on the field smiling, watching his team and even signed some autographs.
