TAMPA, Fla. -- The 49ers likely will play Sunday without their top two wide receivers, as the club on Saturday downgraded Marquise Goodwin to “doubtful."
Goodwin made the trip with his 49ers teammates Friday to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But the 49ers excused Goodwin to address a personal matter back in the Bay Area.
Goodwin ranks second on the 49ers with 339 yards on 17 receptions this season. He leads the 49ers with four touchdown catches.
