49ers wide receiver Joshua Morgan will miss significant time with a broken bone in his lower right leg that requires surgery.
San Francisco coach Jim Harbaugh said that Morgan was scheduled for a "procedure." He was injured late in the fourth quarter of San Francisco's 48-3 victory against Tampa Bay on Sunday.
Morgan caught a 19-yard pass from backup quarterback Colin Kaepernick on fourth-and-3 and was tackled just short of the goal line.
He grimaced in pain and stayed on the ground for several minutes as teammates gathered around in support.
