  9D ago •

  Benjamin did not catch any of his three targets in Sunday's 17-10 loss to Arizona.

  Benjamin exited Sunday's preseason game against the Raiders due to a concussion, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Benjamin thus finishes exhibition season with two catches (on six targets) for 24 yards and one touchdown and three punt returns for 34 yards in three contests.
