In a thrilling game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, rookie wide receiver Ricky Pearsall made headlines by scoring his first career touchdown with a 46-yard reception from quarterback Brock Purdy. This moment was particularly significant as Pearsall had previously missed the first six games of the season due to a gunshot wound sustained during a robbery attempt. His touchdown helped the 49ers take an early lead in the game.

• Ricky Pearsall's return to the field and scoring his first touchdown is a remarkable comeback story.
