Running back Kendall Hunter is expected to be out for the remainder season with an ankle injury he sustained in the third quarter of the 49ers' victory Sunday against the New Orleans Saints. The 49ers have yet to reveal the extent of Hunter's injury, but USA Today, citing a person informed of the prognosis for Hunter, reported that it is a season-ending injury. That likely means the 49ers will activate undrafted rookie Jewel Hampton to the 53-man roster. The 49ers had to make a roster move with Hampton, who was at the end of his three-week window after coming off the team's reserve/non-football injury list. He underwent offseason surgery to remove bone spurs from his left foot. Source: Comcast Sports
Tough break but I'm excited to see Lamichael. Hopefully Gores miraculous health this season keeps up and doesnt make this injury into a major issue.
I wonder whether we'll activate LMJ or Jacobs. It sure as hell seems James will get the nod. A Gore/Jacobs tandem would be a dream come true for Singletary, but we need speed out there.
They are different players who should both get playing time. Jacobs can come in to give gore a breather and lmj would be the change of pace back.Big loss for the niners, luckily they are a deep team with an oline so good even hampton would be fine.
