San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin is going through a difficult time right now. The details of the personal matter which forced him to miss Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers remain unknown. For now, he remains excused from the team.

Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area asked the head coach if there was anything more he could say about the situation.
"No, nothing," Shanahan responded. "Same stuff. He's been excused. He just needs more time."
Shanahan told reporters on Monday that he wasn't sure if Goodwin would be back at all this week as the 49ers prepare for Sunday's road game against the Seattle Seahawks.
