SAN FRANCISCO, CA (SNN-TV) – A former Suncoast running back is getting another shot at the NFL, this time out on the West Coast.
The San Francisco 49ers are adding some running back depth after RB Elijah Mitchell’s knee injury, which is expected to sideline him for up to two months. Nonetheless, veteran RB Marlon Mack is set to join San Francisco’s practice squad.
The former Booker High and USF star, Mack, spent his first five NFL seasons with the Indianapolis Colts where he played in 47 games with 23 starts. Mack tore his Achilles in Week 1 of the following year and only played six games in 2021. The Texans signed Mack in the offseason, but he was let go at final cuts.
Mack was one of a slew of RB’s who worked out for San Francisco. Per the transaction wire, the 49ers also worked out Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman, among others.
