49ers' Carlos Hyde (foot) ruled out for Falcons' game

San Francisco 49ers' running back Carlos Hyde (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons.

What It Means:

Hyde has been dealing with a stress fracture in his foot and sat out Week 8 as a result. Recently-signed Pierre Thomas and Kendall Gaskins are expected to share backfield duties in his absence.

In 2014, with the New Orleans Saints, Thomas accrued 23.67 Total Net Expected Points (NEP) on 100 opportunities. This 0.24 Total NEP per play ranked second among running backs with at least 100 opportunities.
