Opportunities have been hard to come by for 49ers rookie third-round running back Tyrion Davis-Price. An early-season injury, combined with the 49ers’ backfield depth has pushed Davis-Price down the depth chart where he’s been virtually invisible during his rookie campaign.
That changed some Saturday afternoon at Levi’s Stadium when Davis-Price notched nine carries for 30 yards. While there were a couple of runs that stood out for yards he gained, head coach Kyle Shanahan pointed to a yard that Davis-Price didn’t gain that wound up being a big, positive play for San Francisco.
