The San Francisco 49ers are bringing in Alfred Morris to provide depth at running back while they deal with injuries at the position Authentic Oliver Bjorkstrand Jersey , coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday.
Morris, 29, was a sixth-round draft pick of Washington in 2012 when Shanahan was the offensive coordinator. He rushed for 2,888 yards and 20 touchdowns during his first two seasons. The move won't become official until he passes a physical.
"Alf did a great job for us in the two years I was with him," Shanahan said. "It's not flashy, but he runs extremely hard. He's very reliable."

His backup Youth Matt Duchene Jersey , Matt Breida, separated his shoulder against Dallas on Thursday and could miss the entire preseason.

Shanahan said San Francisco wouldn't have brought in Morris if he didn't have a chance of making the 53-man roster.
"I think with some of the injuries that we've had, he does have a chance to compete," Shanahan said. "He's getting here late, but we'll see how he does over these next few weeks. If he's running the same way he always has Mike Smith Jersey , he's going to have a chance."
Morris has played six seasons, including the past two with the Cowboys. He started five games in 2017, rushing for 547 yards on 115 carries.
