Jeffery Wilson Plays Up-And-Down Game
6 years agoSan Francisco 49ers running back Jeffery Wilson rushed seven times for 46 yards in Week 15 against the Seattle Seahawks. With Matt Breida (ankle) healthy, Wilson returned to a complementary role. Despite some flashes, he hurt his own cause by coughing up a fumble, dropping an easy pass and committing an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. Wilson redeemed himself in overtime by ripping a 16-yard carry to set up the game-winning field goal. With the Niners evaluating all their young players, Wilson will likely maintain a role in the offense but needs to reduce the costly mistakes. Reports indicate Breida aggravated his ankle injury late in the game. If he misses time, Wilson would be in play as a volume-based RB3 in Week 16 against a stifling Chicago Bears defense.
