RB Lance Dunbar will visit with 49ers

Mar 9, 2016 at 6:14 PM--


ESPN's Adam Caplan is reporting that RB Lance Dunbar will visit with the San Francisco 49ers.


Dunbar spent four seasons with the Dallas Cowboys after being signed by them out of North Texas in 2012 as an undrafted free agent. Over his career, he has 391 rushing yards with a 4.6 yard-per-carry average. He also has 524 receiving yards on 52 receptions.

Dunbar expected to be a part of the Cowboys' offense in 2013, but injuries and fumbles shortened his campaign. In October of 2015, Dunbar was placed on the injured reserve after suffering a torn ACL and MCL during a kickoff return in the team's fourth game, a matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Surprisingly, he entered that game as the Cowboys' leading receiver with 215 yards on 21 receptions.

The 49ers had expressed interest in Buccaneers RB Doug Martin, but Tampa Bay re-signed him to a 5-year, $35.75 million deal.

John Lynch made one thing very clear on Monday morning during the NFL owners' meetings in Arizona. The San Francisco 49ers like their current quarterback room, comprised of Brock Purdy, Trey Lance, and Sam Darnold. Lynch clarified one more thing: If Purdy were completely healthy and ready to play come Week 1, he would be the starter. Of course, there is so much uncertainty surrounding Purdy's health. On March 10, the quarterback underwent surgery to repair the tear of the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in his right elbow he suffered in the NFC Championship Game. His recovery is expected to go into September. Although, Lynch and the 49ers are hopeful the second-year

The San Francisco 49ers expect Brock Purdy to be ready to play between early September and early November. That's a significant range considering the 2023 NFL season begins in early September. Head coach Kyle Shanahan, speaking with reporters at the NFL owners' meetings in Arizona, said the team expects its 23-year-old quarterback's recovery from his March 10 surgery to be six to eight months. The 49ers will know more in June, when Purdy begins throwing again and starts ramping up his workload as part of his rehab. "It might be Week 1," Shanahan said. "I think I'm hearing, at the latest, Week 4. But that's just all estimations, and we'll see what
