The Facts: GM Trent Baalke told reporters that Hyde is down into the mid 220-pound range, his lowest weight since early in college, and looking "extremely good."

Diehards Line: With Frank Gore moving onto to Indianapolis via free agency, Baalke has talked up running backs Kendall Hunter and Carlos Hyde as both looking ready to play a big part in the 49ers’ offense this season. Hunter missed all of last season after tearing his ACL in training camp, but Baalke said Hunter has worked hard to get ready to go for this year’s camp. As Profootballtalk.com suggests, if Hyde and Hunter are as good as Baalke thinks, and if Reggie Bush has something left, the 49ers may be in good shape at running back. Even after losing one of the best they’ve ever had in Gore.
