Today, San Francisco 49ers RB Carlos Hyde posted a video of himself training at DBC Fitness in Miami, Florida. Back in January, it was confirmed by 49ers general manager Trent Baalke that Hyde had surgery late in the season, but is expected to be ready for the team's offseason program.

This past season, Hyde suffered a stress fracture in his left foot, causing him to miss nine games. He finished 2015 with just 470 yards on 115 carries and three touchdowns. The injury was discovered by the media just prior to the team's Week 7 matchup with the Seattle Seahawks, a game that Hyde would end up playing in.
The team's offseason program begins in April. However, the brunt of the offseason program will begin later, which should give Hyde enough time to heal before getting on the practice field.
The other running backs on the roster include newly re-signed Shaun Draughn, Mike Davis, Kendall Gaskins, DuJuan Harris, and Jarryd Hayne. Reggie Bush, who was placed on IR last season, is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent and the 49ers are not expected to re-sign him.
It's also interesting to note that the 49ers have drafted a running back every year since 2009.
