Charges are pending against the boy in juvenile court.The 49ers drafted Pearsall with the 31st overall pick. He had been expected to get significant playing time as a rookie, although he missed much of training camp and the preseason with a shoulder injury that he had previously had in college.Pearsall will miss games against the Jets, Vikings, Rams and Patriots. He would be eligible to return for the 49ers' fifth game, on October 6 against the Cardinals.
