Carlos Hyde will not play against Saints
San Francisco 49ers
RB Carlos Hyde will miss his second straight game and will not by in the lineup today against the New Orleans Saints. He is still recovering from an sprained AC joint.
Earlier this week, head coach Chip Kelly said that he was unsure if Hyde would be available for today's game. He stated that the decision to play Hyde was completely up to the team's medical staff and not him.
Hyde had practiced with the team all week, but was in a blue non-contact jersey for each practice. On Friday, he was listed as Questionable on the team's official injury report.
The injury occurred during the third quarter of the 49ers' October 16 loss to the Buffalo Bills.
Mike Davis replaced Hyde while the 49ers' starting running back was on the sideline. The 49ers promoted
RB DuJuan Harris from the practice squad for their October 23 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He rushed for 39 yards on 11 carries in that game.
Harris will start for the 49ers against the Saints, per Ian Rapoport of
NFL Media.
Hyde has 429 yards on 109 carries and six touchdowns so far this season. He has averaged 3.9 yards per carry.

Resurgent Jason Verrett thrilled to help 49ers DBs rebound against Rams

In a season during which injuries to key players have decimated their defense, the San Francisco 49ers have gotten a somewhat unexpected performance from a player who before this year had seen his entire career taken apart due to his own repeated health problems.
The player in question is cornerback Jason Verrett, a one-time Pro Bowler and first-round pick of the Chargers who played in just six games between 2016 and 2019 while various injuries sidetracked his career.
The 49ers first signed Verrett to a one-year deal in 2019 with hopes he'd be able to return to his old form after missing 2018 with a torn Achilles. But injuries got the best of him again in 2019, as he appeared in just one game before an ankle issue put him on injured reserve in
49ers planned to rest Jerick McKinnon while starting Jeff Wilson at RB against Patriots

What went into the decision by the San Francisco 49ers to give Jeff Wilson the start at running back in their 33-6 win over the New England Patriots on Sunday?
49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan explained his thinking after the game, saying the team knew early in the week it would likely be starting Wilson or undrafted rookie JaMycal Hasty after Raheem Mostert suffered a high-ankle sprain in a Week 6 win over the Rams. The reason for starting Wilson over Jerick McKinnon was due to the workload McKinnon has experienced as of late due to injuries to Mostert and Tevin Coleman (knee).
"The plan was to rest Jet a little bit with how much he's gotten the last few weeks," Shanahan said. "We were going to go with Hasty or Jeff depending on their health. Jeff showed in
