The 49ers had a revolving group of running backs throughout 2018 due to various injuries. Head coach Kyle Shanahan is hoping to squeeze more stability out of them in the coming season, so he’s bringing back a familiar face.
Shanahan is adding free agent running back Tevin Coleman on a two-year, $10 million deal, a league source confirmed to The Bee just after the start of the new league year Wednesday. Coleman was taken in the third round of the 2015 draft when Shanahan was offensive coordinator with running backs coach Bobby Turner, who remains on Shanahan’s staff with San Francisco.
