The answer to the first question came quickly, with doctors assuring Pearsall that though his injury was significant, he was going to survive.

The answer to the second required multiple tests and a long, difficult night. And though doctors informed Pearsall on the morning of Sept.

1, that, yes, playing receiver for the San Francisco 49ers could still be in his future, the real answer came Sunday, when he tugged his red No.
