San Francisco 49ers running back Jerick McKinnon has been placed on injured reserve for the second year in a row, ending his season. McKinnon has unfortunately never been able to fully recover from the torn ACL he suffered in the Niners 2018 training camp. He is expected to undergo another knee procedure.
Matt Breida was going to have a significant role in the 49ers running back committee before the news McKinnon would be unavailable. Now it seems he will only really have to share snaps with 2019 free-agent acquisition, Tevin Coleman.
