49ers: 3 wide receivers who stand to benefit from Deebo Samuel injury

Adding injury to… injury, at least two more San Francisco 49ers players have suffered setbacks during their training sessions in Nashville, Tennessee, according to NFL Network.

On Tuesday, NFL insider Ian Rapoport reported second-year wide receiver Deebo Samuel suffered a Jones fracture on his left foot. This is the same type of injury that sidelined fellow wideout Trent Taylor all of last season, but Samuel appears to be on track for a 10-week recovery after surgery, which took place the same day the injury was reported.

The day after Samuel’s injury was announced, fellow NFL insider Mike Garafolo reported wide receiver and punt returner Richie James suffered a broken bone in his wrist and is looking to miss the next two months.
