San Francisco running back LaMichael James knows he doesn't have a role with the club, according to the San Jose Mercury News.
James has been a healthy scratch the past two weeks after seeing some work in two previous games. James said he understands it's a numbers game, and pointed out that backup Kendall Hunter doesn't typically get that many carries. He added that with the team down a defensive lineman, he understands why he's been made inactive.
James has seven carries for 31 yards.
