The Facts: HC Jim Tomsula at last month's combine was hellbent on bringing Frank Gore back to San Francisco. Instead, the 49ers wound up with Bush, a completely different type of runner in the backfield, but an athlete the coach gushed over Wednesday. "Reggie can be an every-down back. He's done that in the NFL," Tomsula said, pointing specifically to Bush's distant 1,086-yard campaign with the Dolphins in 2011.

Diehards Line: Bush also put up 1,000 yards rushing two seasons ago in Detroit, but Tomsula acknowledged the team isn't counting on the back for that kind of workload, saying: "I don't know that we're looking at it that way." It's hard to imagine the Niners not utilizing Carlos Hyde as their primary back. Kendall Hunter is also in the mix. "Right now, we've got three guys in the backfield that we feel great about, we feel really, really good about," Tomsula said. "And they're all just a little bit different. So as we get rolling here and we throw the ball out on the field, let's take a look at what each guy does and build off that. ..." Fantasy owners should continue to expect Bush to have a change of pace role until further notice.
