49ers roster recap: Running back depth in flux going into free agency

The 49ers roster could look quite different at running back going into training camp.

Normally Breida’s return would be an easy call. He’s a restricted free agent who could get re-signed on a relatively cheap deal after averaging 5.1 yards per carry last season and finishing second on the team in rushing yards. His final six games of last season are something of a concern though. He notched just 17 carries in those six games for 46 yards with three fumbles. Breida, with Coleman nursing a dislocated shoulder he suffered in the NFC championship game, pulled out just one carry in that game and didn’t see the field in the Super Bowl. He was productive enough to earn a return to San Francisco, but his last six games are enough to raise some doubt on whether the 49ers will bring him back.
