What It Means:

That diagnosis typically comes with multi-week absences. Hyde has sat out once already and admitted he's not sure about his status for Week 9 against the New Orleans Saints. He's been wearing a non-contact jersey at injury all week. DuJuan Harris has reportedly supplanted Mike Davis as the leader of San Francisco's backfield committee if Hyde is sidelined again. Shaun Draughn should factor in as well.

Our models currently rank Hyde as the eighth-best running back option on FanDuel for Week 9 if he plays, projecting him to rush 19 times for 87 yards and 0.50 touchdowns versus the Saints, while also adding a pair of catches for nine yards in the air.
