Well, I’m sure this had something to do with the drafting of two running backs, but Jeff Wilson ‘recently underwent knee surgery’ for a torn meniscus. Don’t know when the injury happened, or even how, but now he’s out for 4-6 months, so it looks like the rookies just got bumped up a spot in the RB rotation. And whether the team knew about this leads me to think they did due to 2 guys coming off the board for a position we had somewhat covered.
Raheem the dream Mostert better stay healthy as the next guy not a rookie is Wayne Gallman. Then again, seeing Trey Sermon out there would be pretty cool. He’s a bad-ass hard hitting runner who catches passes well. He should be able to fit in pretty quickly, but as they say, we shall see.
Speaking of injuries, Nick Bosa, Dee Ford, and Jalen Hurd are all expected to be ready for camp. Commence the covering them in bubble-wrap till the season starts.

My bad Chuck I didn’t see your earlier post about Wilson, still a mind boggling freakish injury..
And yes totally on board with LJ as well about the 49ers drafting 2 running backs,Sermon&Mitchell, maybe they looked at the track history of keeping these RB’s healthy.These 2 along with Mostert hopefully staying healthy and Juicy’s great blocking should create a lot of opportunities, I’m excited as hell with this scenario going forward! Hell even Hasty could get some carries are used in passing situations..
Hasty is a quick, shifty back who runs well inside. I think he could be a very useful piece for Shanny this year, but he might not even make the team with the two rookies now in the fold.
THe way we’ve been going through RBs, I think Hasty stays.
IF JG stays health and wins a SB, that would be good for Lance, he just turned 21 yrs old, start him at age 24, you have a franchise QB for a long time.
Yeah, I am wishing Jimmy the very best and I am sure he’s gonna miss at least a game or two so we should see Lance in action. I imagine getting some playing time will help him get his bearings and give him his learning curve for at least a couple of years. That is of course he masters it right away. Then we gotta trade Jimmy to get a pick or two back.
Yeah, that’s my hope. Shit, Rodgers had 4 years on the bench behind Favre? Young had a few years behind Joe, so the idea is not a bad one.
