The San Francisco 49ers have named running back JaMycal Hasty as their protected practice squad player ahead of the team's Week 3 matchup against the New York Giants, according to NBC Sports Bay Area. That is a good indication that the 49ers may activate him for the game with Raheem Mostert (knee) and Tevin Coleman (knee) expected to be sidelined due to injuries.


In addition to increasing NFL practice squads to 16 players this season, teams can protect four of those players each week from being signed to other rosters. NFL teams can also elevate practice squad players to the active roster up to 90 minutes before kickoff.

Hasty will return to his unprotected status after Sunday's game, and the 49ers will have until next Tuesday at 1 p.m. PT to declare up to four new (or repeat) players to protect.

Hasty signed with the 49ers as an undrafted free agent on April 27 after playing college football at Baylor.

The 49ers are also bringing in several running backs for tryouts, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. They include Paul Perkins, Karan Higdon, and Austin Walter.

However, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports that he was almost headed to the Houston Texans.

Hope will soon be reborn for NFL fans everywhere. In only a couple of days, the pain of a long and disappointing season will have fallen out of sight, and a new energy will emerge. I'm speaking, of course, of the start of NFL free agency, when even fans of bad teams can feel optimistic again. It's a time of excitement as your team can begin working toward getting better. The San Francisco 49ers came within one play of winning Super Bowl LVIII. And even though they still have perhaps the best roster in football, they do have some holes to fill, especially with several scheduled free agents of their own. And when you factor in what looks to be a tight salary cap situation a year from now, the 49ers have to be smart about what moves they make this offseason. Next

Mia O'Brien, a reporter for Jacksonville radio station 1010XL, was the first to link San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk to the Jacksonville Jaguars last week. A new report from O'Brien sheds light on the asking price for the star wide receiver, who is entering his fifth-year option. According to O'Brien, the 49ers sought the No. 17 overall pick, plus wide receiver Zay Jones, in exchange for Aiyuk. However, it seems this asking price was deemed too high for the Jaguars, who would have had to part ways with these assets and commit significant money to Aiyuk in the form of a contract
