Kaelon Black Steals Spotlight | San Francisco 49ers News

Kaelon Black’s groin tweak isn’t a red flag—Coach Shanahan’s just being cautious. But don’t worry, the 24-year rookie’s already making waves: he carried the load in the win over the Rams, outpacing veteran Christian McCaffrey with 14 carries for 65 yards and three key first downs. Shanahan admits he was surprised by the workload shift, especially since they were up big late—and it made sense to preserve McCaffrey, who’s entering his 10th season with injury history. Black, a third-round pick and Indiana’s workhorse last year (1,000+ yards, 10 TDs), is built for this role. Expect him to get even more touches as the season unfolds—especially when the Niners are cruising. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
