Breida has made an early impact in camp and has received reps with the 49ers' top offensive unit, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Breida was expected to take a back seat to Jerick McKinnon following the latter's signing this past offseason. That could still become a reality, but the workload distribution early in camp points to a possible timeshare in the 49ers' backfield, as opposed to a situation where McKinnon's four-year, $30 million deal guarantees him the overwhelming share of touches. Breida rushed for 465 yards and two touchdowns on 105 carries while working as the primary backup to Carlos Hyde in 2017. Those numbers would prorate well during the upcoming season if the 22-year-old could secure a larger secondary role behind McKinnon.
