Undrafted rookie running back Corey Kiner is expected to get plenty of touches when the San Francisco 49ers visit the Las Vegas Raiders for Week 2 of preseason action.
And it's not necessarily because head coach Kyle Shanahan wants to see what the first-year pro out of Cincinnati can do after getting the bulk of carries in the Niners' exhibition opener against the Denver Broncos last week.
San Francisco is dealing with a litany of injuries halfway through the preseason, and nearly every position on the 90-man roster is dealing with some kind of shortage, including at running back.
