49ers buzz Monday: team returns from bye, eyes Bucs

SANTA CLARA — Wide receivers Marquise Goodwin and Pierre Garçon were notably absent Monday as the 49ers returned from their bye and began practicing for Sunday’s game at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

An official injury report won’t come out until Wednesday but there’s reason to speculate how the receivers’ injury concerns might impact the 49ers (2-8).

Goodwin, who turned 28 on Monday, twice appeared to sustain a head injury last game, but he was cleared both during that loss to the New York Giants and again the next day. Goodwin has a history of concussions, including one on a frightening hit in last season’s finale at Los Angeles.
