Injuries are an unfortunate reality of the preseason, and the San Francisco 49ers were one of the first victims when they lost wide receiver Trent Taylor to a broken foot on Saturday night.
The outlook for Taylor isn't terrible -- according to ESPN's Nick Wagoner the team hopes to have him back in four to six weeks -- but his absence will create an opportunity for head coach Kyle Shanahan to get an extended look at other options.
Taylor works almost exclusively from the slot for San Francisco as 36 of his 41 targets came while lined up in the slot in 2018, according to Sports Info Solutions.
