“Everybody’s excited. He’s been with the guys for a while now, so it’s not like he’s been out, he’s been training all week,” Shanahan said. “It’s good to see him out there playing. I think everybody’s really happy for him that he’s back and being a part of it. He had a rough week, and we’re excited to have him out there with us.”
Piersall was previously shot in the chest during an attempted robbery in San Francisco, but miraculously the rookie wide receiver escaped serious injuries thanks to the quick actions of police and paramedics before being taken to a hospital and released a day later.
The 49ers then placed Piersall on the non-football injured reserve/reserve list since Sept. 2. They removed the rookie wide receiver from the list on Oct. 14 and spent about a week practicing before he was ready to make his professional debut on Sunday.
“Whatever he needs,” Shanahan said when asked what he’s doing at the moment. “He’s got a role on special teams, he’s got a role at wide receiver, and we’ll see how the game goes. He’s healthy and ready to go.”
