Shanahan mentions a surprise option at punt returner with McCloud injured

The 49ers wide receiver group took a hit during earlier this week as Ray-Ray McCloud suffered a broken wrist during Tuesday’s practice, per head coach Kyle Shanahan:

“Ray-Ray broke his wrist last practice. It’ll be some time. We won’t know for sure until they go to surgery. They always say around eight weeks at that time. Could be a little less. Hopefully, it is. We’ll see. I think he’s getting surgery Friday.”

So, the optimistic view is that McCloud returns before eight weeks. Let’s act as if the timetable is eight weeks from Friday.
