Matt Breida Latest News
Gets let go
Breida was released by the 49ers on Monday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. Breida was working to make the most of a reunion with San Francisco, but will unfortunately fall short in making their 53-man roster. The veteran running back spent the first three seasons of his career with the franchise but spent his last two with the Giants.
Back in San Francisco
Brieda has agreed to a deal with the 49ers, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. Breida spent his first three seasons in San Francisco before stints with Miami, Buffalo and the Giants. His most productive years were those he spent with the 49ers, and he will now look for another opportunity to showcase his talents in the Bay Area. Isaac Guerendo (hamstring) was selected by the team in the fourth round of this year's draft and was expected to back up Christian McCaffrey and Elijah Mitchell in the backfield, but he is now expected to be sidelined for multiple weeks. As a result, Breida will compete with the likes of Jordan Mason, Patrick Taylor and Cody Schrader for a depth running back role heading into the season.
Gets just one touch in blowout loss
The Giants fell behind 42-7 after three quarters but continued to ride with Saquon Barkley into the fourth period. Barkley was eventually pulled, but it was Jashaun Corbin rather than Breida who saw mop-up work near the end of the contest. Breida logged just 13 offensive snaps in the loss while Barkley tallied 35 and Corbin totaled 15. The Giants have been among the league's worst teams this season, so they may eventually decide to lessen Barkley's workload as they push for a high draft pick rather than a playoff spot. Still, it would likely be youngsters like Corbin and Eric Gray (IR - calf) who see more work in that scenario rather than the veteran Breida.
