Jeff Wilson Jr. The Front-Runner To Start In Week 14
3 years agoSan Francisco 49ers running back Jeff Wilson Jr. (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice and is expected to be the front-runner to start in Week 14 versus the Cincinnati Bengals with rookie Elijah Mitchell (concussion, knee) trending towards missing Sunday's game. Even if Wilson starts, JaMycal Hasty could get his fair share of snaps on third down. The 49ers also signed Brian Hill, but it's unlikely that he will have much of an impact right away. For the season, Wilson has participated in three games and has 83 yards on 31 carries with zero touchdowns. With Hasty in the picture, Wilson should be considered a low-end RB2 on Sunday if Mitchell is inactive.
