49ers-Giants: Niners name RB JaMycal Hasty as protected practice squad player, bring in others for tryouts

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.

JaMycal Hasty earned praise from his defensive teammate, Fred Warner, during training camp. The undrafted free agent running back landed on the San Francisco 49ers practice squad to start the season.
The 49ers promoted Hasty to the active roster on October 3. He has just 46 rushing yards on 11 carries this season, but 37 of those yards came during Sunday night's win over the Los Angeles Rams after a high-ankle sprain sidelined Raheem Mostert.
"I did mention [Hasty] back in training camp just because we all see him make the cuts," Warner told reporters on Wednesday. "And just the explosiveness that he has when he does touch the rock, it's something that jumps off the field, jumps off the tape."

There was a fear that offensive tackle Trent Williams might miss some time after suffering an ankle injury on Sunday night against the Los Angeles Rams. Head coach Kyle Shanahan joined KNBR on Friday morning and sounded optimistic that his seven-time Pro Bowl offensive lineman will play this weekend against the New England Patriots.
"It's looking optimistic," Shanahan said on the Murph & Mac show. "Hopefully, we don't have any setbacks today. He wasn't able to go Wednesday. He was limited yesterday, but he got out there. I'd be surprised if he doesn't go. I haven't seen him today, so as long as we don't have any setbacks, I'm anticipating to have good news this afternoon."
