Ricky Pearsall scores the first touchdown of his career to give the 49ers a 7-0 lead

49ers rookie receiver Ricky Pearsall needed just three plays and eight catches to score his first touchdown.

With the 49ers at the Tampa Bay 46, the first-round draft pick caught a pass from Brock Purdy at the 30 and was untouched the rest of the way. The 46-yard touchdown puts the 49ers on top 7-0 with 4:15 left in the first quarter.

Pearsall was shot in the chest during an attempted robbery on August 31. He made his NFL debut on October 20 against the Chiefs.

He caught seven passes for 59 yards in his first two games.

The 49ers have used running back Christian McCaffrey extensively so far, and he has four touches for 26 yards. McCaffrey will make his debut in 2024 after recovering from bilateral Achilles tendonitis.
