49ers wide receiver Danny Gray was the first player up to return a kickoff against the Broncos Saturday night. But, that would be the last time we saw gray. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Gray had a shoulder injury, and a “possible collarbone that we couldn’t tell from our x-rays.”
The Niners wide receiver depth has already taken a hit as Ray-Ray McCloud may miss the first month of the season with a broken wrist. If Gray is out, that all but assures a spot for Ronnie Bell on the team.
Bell has had two passes go through his hands for interceptions, but you can’t ignore the ability he has when the ball is in his hands and how difficult he’s been to go down.
