James was competing with third-round pick Kaelon Black for the backup role behind Christian McCaffrey.
The 49ers worked out running backs Tuesday after Jordan James suffered an injury Monday during training camp. James, in his second year, had been competing with rookie Kaelon Black for the primary backup job behind Christian McCaffrey.
Black, a third-round pick in the 2026 draft, was a lead candidate for the role before James went down. San Francisco's depth at running back now depends on the severity of James's injury and how the camp auditions shake out.
