Keith Reaser: ‘Knee is feeling great!’

Cornerback Keith Reaser, last year's San Francisco 49ers fifth-round draft selection, posted a short video of a workout on Instagram and stated that his knee is feeling great and to expect big things in 2015. From the video, it certainly looks like he has recovered from the torn ACL that he suffered in a game against the University of Alabama at Birmingham Blazers.
Reaser was drafted out of Florida Atlantic with the 170th overall selection. The 5'10" corner was considered a value pick and was placed on the PUP list, but has speed having recorded a 4.3 second 40.
The 49ers lost last season's starting cornerbacks, Chris Culliver (Washington) and Perrish Cox (Tennessee) to free agency. The team still has Tramaine Brock, who is signed through 2017, and general manager Trent Baalke has stated that he has faith in the team's cornerbacks.
The 49ers also re-signed Chris Cook and brought in Shareece Wright from the San Diego Chargers.
In his college career, he had 32 starts, 158 tackles, five interceptions, and one fumble recovery. Reaser will only cost the 49ers $476,200 in 2015.

Purdy has faced Seattle more than any other opponent in his NFL career, creating a familiarity with the division rival. Despite never losing to the Seahawks, the second-year quarterback emphasizes that he won't take any opponent for granted.

Kyle Shanahan provides injury updates on Arik Armstead, Spencer Burford, Elijah Mitchell ahead of 49ers-Seahawks
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan provided injury updates during his weekly interview on Bay Area radio station KNBR, shedding light on the statuses of some ailing players ahead of the team's Week 14 showdown against the Seattle Seahawks.
Arik Armstead has yet to hit the practice field this week as he deals with foot and knee issues. On Wednesday, Shanahan said he would be surprised to see his veteran defensive tackle on the field this weekend. A day later, nothing has changed.
"Armstead's still looking like a long shot," Shanahan said on the "Tolbert and Copes" show. "Haven't ruled him out yet, officially, but I'll talk to the doctors. But I

Luke, listed at 6-foot-2 and 200 pounds, recorded 68 receptions for 963 yards and 12 touchdowns this season, averaging 14.2 yards per catch.
