Morris, Breida expected to share workload
With JERICK MCKINNON out for the season, fellow running backs ALFRED MORRIS and MATT BREIDA are expected to share backfield duties for San Francisco in their season opener against Minnesota on… More Sunday. It is likely that Morris will see more carries on early downs while Breida’s skillset makes him the more likely option on passing downs. Less

Around the NFL: McKinnon out for season
A couple of weeks ago, with Jerick McKinnon and Matt Breida nursing injuries, Alfred Morris came out of free agency and turned in a strong rushing performance against the Colts: 17 carries, 84 yards. Impressive enough that we thought he'd probably start for his old boss Kyle Shanahan. That looks even more likely tonight, with McKinnon now out for the season. more »

Around the NFL: Alfred Morris
Beat reporters are closer to the team than the average fans. Big media sites have more staffers sifting through Tweets and whatnot. But I think people underestimate the importance of things that actually happen, and it seems to be occurring with Alfred Morris. more »

Around the NFL: 49ers sign Alfred Morris
I am an Alfred Morris fan. He made us look good back in 2012. He was just a sixth-round pick, but he worked his way up the depth chart in August. I remember a home game with the Colts, when they trotted him out with the first-unit offense and he really nailed down the starting job. We jacked him way up on our board, all of our subscribers drafted him, and he delivered big time, running for 1,613 yards and 13 TDs. more »

49ers to sign veteran RB Morris
The San Francisco 49ers are planning to sign veteran running back ALFRED MORRIS as the team deals with injuries to their top two running backs. JERICK MCKINNON suffered a calf strain… More that will sideline him for at least a week. Backup MATT BREIDA is dealing with a separated shoulder that will keep him out of action for the rest of the exhibition season. Morris had success in Washington with Kyle Shanahan, who is now the head coach in San Francisco. Less

McKinnon avoids serious knee injury in practice
San Francisco running back JERICK MCKINNON left practice Sunday after grabbing at the back of his right knee. Fortunately for the 49ers, McKinnon, and fantasy owners, the injury is reportedly just… More a muscle strain. The team has been bitten by the injury bug this preseason, although everyone is expected back by the season opener at Minnesota on September 9th. Less

Factoid: Jerick McKinnon
With Jerick McKinnon, you either believe or you don't. Either you see him as an overpaid, overrated guy who never really took advantage of his opportunities in Minnesota, or you see the centerpiece of San Francisco's offense in 2018, one of the league's few three-down backs. We won't know for sure until the games start. more »

Factoid: 49ers running backs
I wonder if Matt Breida will be San Francisco’s leading rusher. He was impressive with his limited opportunities last year, and I think the 49ers will need somebody who can lug the ball. more »

Around the NFL: Jerick McKinnon
San Francisco has brought in Jerick McKinnon as its lead back, and there's a lot of optimism about him. The team doesn't have any other proven backs (second-year guys Matt Breida and Joe Williams), and head coach Kyle Shanahan has the great history with Devonta Freeman in Atlanta. McKinnon, one theory goes, will be Shanahan's new Freeman. more »
