San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver Ricky Pearsall has been discharged from the hospital after recovering from a gunshot wound sustained during a robbery attempt, the team reported on Sunday.

Pearsall and a 17-year-old suspect were both hurt during a confrontation after the robbery attempt on Saturday afternoon in the Union Square neighborhood. They were taken to Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, as stated by the San Francisco Police.

A decision regarding charges against the suspect, who will be processed in juvenile court, is expected on Tuesday or Wednesday, according to San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins.
