San Francisco 49ers: Running backs primed for an explosive 2019 season

The San Francisco 49ers had the year from hell when it comes to injuries. Both the offense and defense were forced to delve deep into their backups and practice squad in order to field a full team.

Among player groups hit especially hard were the running backs, with the 49ers down to their last two healthy players for their remaining game in Week 17.

It is quite extraordinary that, despite all the injuries, head coach Kyle Shanahan still managed to produce a very good run game throughout the course of the season. He is known as an offensive genius, after all.
