49ers work out 5 running backs in light of Matt Breida injury

The San Francisco 49ers might be down a key offensive weapon on Monday against the Green Bay Packers. Running back Matt Breida suffered an ankle sprain, and head coach Kyle Shanahan said he would be doubtful for Week 6.

The team could decide to promote running back Jeff Wilson from the practice squad, but they also might consider some veteran options. The team worked out Shane Vereen, Charcandrick West, Andre Ellington, Matthew Dayes, and Jeremy McNichols, per ESPN’s Field Yates.
