Earlier this offseason, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Richie James could have been seen as on the roster bubble heading into 2019.
After all, he had to contend with a fully healthy Trent Taylor and a reinforced receiving corps in training camp. Considering James stood out in training camp last year, only to see his regular-season offensive numbers not pop off the stat sheet too much, it was safe to assume he needed a phenomenal camp to continue.
Well, James now has that opportunity.
Taylor suffered a Jones fracture in his foot during the Niners’ 17-9 exhibition win over the Dallas Cowboys last Saturday.
