49ers wide receiver Richie James joins Deebo Samuel on the list of players who have been injured this offseason.

Maybe it’s time the San Francisco 49ers curtail some of the impromptu practice sessions players have been having during this unusual offseason.

On Thursday, second-year wide receiver Deebo Samuel suffered a broken bone in his foot, which required surgery, and there’s speculation he could be out anywhere from eight to 16 weeks depending on his recovery.
