Ive heard that they are saving him for later in the season and playoffs. He isn't needed in the regular season. Shannahan can just pretty plug and play any RB with his scheme and talent he has on offense
That sounds like 49er wish casting. Making up reasons why this is good. No injury to a player is good. No RB on that rooster has the ability like CM.
This will hurt and could cost them tie breakers for seeding if they loose against other play off teams.
