San Francisco 49ers receiver Brandon Jones is expected to miss two months because of a small fracture in his right shoulder, coach Mike Singletary said Friday.
Jones was injured during Thursday's late practice trying to make a diving catch while all alone in the end zone during 7-on-7 work. He will not need shoulder surgery, Singletary said.
Jones' absence is another reduction to the 49ers' receiving corps, with the well-publicized holdout of rookie Michael Crabtree.
Singletary said Friday he remains focused on the players who are in camp for the 49ers and isn't busy worrying when Crabtree, their top pick, finally will show up for his first practice.
