The San Francisco 49ers add running back depth following an injury to Jordan James. According to reports, James had been competing for the primary backup role behind Christian McCaffrey. That competition was against Kaelon Black, a third-round pick this offseason, with both players involved as the team worked toward establishing the top backup option after McCaffrey. After James is injured on Monday, the 49ers move to broaden their options by working out three running backs. One of the players reportedly includes a former Bears starter, reflecting the team’s effort to evaluate experienced alternatives in addition to existing internal competition. While specific details about the other two prospects are not provided in the available summaries, the workouts signal the organization is actively searching for immediate depth at the position. The timing indicates the 49ers respond quickly to the injury situation as they continue preparing their roster and roles for the season, with McCaffrey remaining the starter and the team reassessing who can best fill the backup responsibilities.
