49ers plan to keep Jerick McKinnon
San Francisco 49ers running back Jerick McKinnon will remain with the team in 2019, general manager John Lynch said.
What It Means:
There was talk the 49ers would part ways with McKinnon after signing Tevin Coleman, but Lynch says that will not be the case. McKinnon and Coleman will likely compete for touches behind Matt Breida in what sets up to be a crowded backfield situation in San Francisco. Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson could also be involved. McKinnon missed all of last season after tearing his ACL in practice before Week 1.
McKinnon has 474 rush attempts for 1,918 yards and 7 touchdowns over 58 career games. He's also caught 142 passes on 191 targets for 984 yards and 5 touchdowns.
