Samuel was in for four plays against the Kansas City Chiefs last Sunday before he left the game and went to the hospital. 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan is not sure if Samuel will be able to play against the Dallas Cowboys this Sunday.

#2 David, talk about Brandon Aiyuk who looked like he was hit in the legs on a play where he tore his ACL and MCL which will require surgery and force Aiyuk out for the rest of the season. 48 seconds into the second quarter received the injury when 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy got a pass between Kansas City defensive backs Chamarri Conner and Trent McDuffie which Aiyuk caught for a 15 yard gain. as Conner and McDuffie closed in on Aiyuk the hit hyperextended his knee.

#3 The 49ers now host the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football for a 5:20pm PT kick off at Levi Stadium. The Cowboys got clobbered in their last game against the Detroit Lions 47-9 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington. The Cowboys just couldn’t stop Detroit’s offense and couldn’t get any traction against their defense. Considering some of the 49ers key injuries could this one end up being a close game in Santa Clara.

Nationwide Crime Rate Hits Close To Home – Wide Receiver Ricky Pearsall Shot In Attempted Robbery

By Barbara Mason

As all eyes are focused on the fast approaching 2024 NFL football season, and there are few of us who would have ever expected the tragedy that occurred today in downtown San Francisco. It all happened in Union Square and involved San Francisco 49er wide receiver Ricky Pearsall.

Pearsall had been sidelined for the entire pre-season with a shoulder injury as well as a hamstring issue. He had been out for the past 20 days with the injuries but had been able to at least practice.

He was looking forward to continued healing, getting back on the field and then today the unimaginable happened at 3:30 PM in the Union Square area. A 17-year-old male approached Pearsall and attempted to rob him.

Pearsall and the assailant got into an altercation and both men were shot with Pearsall sustaining an injury in the chest. Both men are being treated at San Francisco General.

The assailant observed Pearsall walking alone and saw opportunity. Ricky was reportedly shot on his way to an autograph signing in the Union Square neighborhood. It is not known what the suspect was attempting to steal from Pearsall.

Law enforcement has a good idea but at this time they are not ready to release that information. The 17-year-old from Tracy was arrested immediately by the police and charges are expected to be filed Tuesday or Wednesday in juvenile court.

This was a tragic event but thankfully Ricky Pearsall is going to be ok although he was listed in serious but stable condition after sustaining a bullet wound to the chest. We did hear from Deebo Samuel on X who stated that “He’s good, thank God.” 49ers GM John Lynch has been at San Francisco General visiting with Ricky.

While Major London Breed did address the public after the incident, she did cite that San Francisco has the lowest violent crime rate of major cities in the country. That is of course encouraging but it does nothing to downplay the severity of this terrible crime and the damage it has done to Ricky and how this will effect his life, his family, his team and his career.
