49ers will work out RB Ben Tate tomorrow
According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, free agent RB Ben Tate will be working out for the running back needy San Francisco 49ers tomorrow.
It is feared that RB Reggie Bush might be out for the remainder of the season after he slipped on the sideline concrete at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis during Sunday's game against the Rams. The team awaits the results of an MRI to see if he has a torn ACL.
Tate was a second round draft pick in the 2010 NFL Draft. He was selected by the Houston Texans and has spent brief time with the Cleveland Browns, Minnesota Vikings, and Pittsburgh Steelers. Tate has 2,363 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns on 540 carries during his career. That's a 4.4 yards-per-carry average.
The 49ers are also expected to try and re-sign RB Jarryd Hayne, who the team waived on Saturday. He must first clear waivers this afternoon.

Ambry Thomas makes a believer out of Shanahan, 49ers Faithful with game-sealing interception
The San Francisco 49ers had a long list of unexpected heroes in their 27-24 overtime win over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, but none of them made for a better feel-good story than rookie cornerback Ambry Thomas.
A third-round selection in the 2021 NFL Draft out of the University of Michigan, Thomas has come a long way in a short time for the 49ers after being used sparingly earlier in the year. Thomas was inactive for much of the first half of the season and only saw 20 total snaps on defense before Week 14, then was eventually pressed into action due to injuries and entered the starting lineup against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 14. He had some struggles at first, but Thomas eventually came into his own and has been a significant contributor on defense ever
49ers' Jimmy Garoppolo toughs it out to win OT thriller against the Rams
The San Francisco 49ers' decision to play quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo on Sunday against the rival Los Angeles Rams was heavily scrutinized from the start. And rightfully so. Garoppolo suffered a torn ligament in the thumb of his throwing hand during the Week 16 game against the Tennessee Titans. That injury will require surgery this offseason.
However, head coach Kyle Shanahan felt confident with putting Garoppolo out there Sunday in a must-win matchup to make the playoffs. The uncertainty of that decision left many fans on edge leading up to and during the game at SoFi Stadium.
When the 49ers fell behind by 17 points in the first half of the game, it appeared that head coach Kyle Shanahan's decision was going to be the nail in the coffin for their season, as

49ers-Packers: Jimmy Garoppolo 'feeling good' he'll play but will 'feel it out' throughout the week
Jimmy Garoppolo hopes to be on the field when his San Francisco 49ers face the Green Bay Packers on Saturday night in the Divisional Round of the playoffs.
