Jalen Hurd Dealing With Back Stiffness
5 years agoSan Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jalen Hurd (back) played just eight snaps in Monday’s preseason game against the Denver Broncos. This is a letdown after Hurd exploded for two touchdowns on five targets in his first game, but head coach Kyle Shanahan indicated Hurd dealt with back stiffness all week and was therefore limited. The 2019 third-round pick is a monstrous 6’5’’ and 226 pounds and could develop into a reliable red-zone threat. However, even with slot receiver Trent Taylor (foot) sidelined, Hurd’s playing time appears uncertain with Richie James Jr. still in the mix. Although the upside is undeniable, Hurd is a just a late round lottery ticket heading into fantasy drafts.
