Breaking down 49ers practice squad RB Jeff Wilson amidst running back injuries

Looks like the injury bug hasn’t escaped the 49ers just yet. Before the season even began, projected starter Jerick McKinnon was injured and out for the season with a torn ACL. This past weekend against the Cardinals, budding star Matt Breida went down with an ankle injury.

“[RB Matt] Breida, he’s not going to practice on Thursday,” head coach Kyle Shanahan explained to the media on Monday. “It was positive news. It wasn’t a high ankle sprain, but it’s still definitely a serious sprain. So, probably end up being doubtful this week.
