The Facts: The 49ers will likely be looking for a bigger contribution from Hyde this season, but they’ll have to wait a little bit before he makes any contribution on the practice field. Hyde was placed on the non-football injury list on Tuesday.
Diehards Line:The 49ers didn’t reveal the reason for the move and Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports the only health news about Hyde this offseason was a muscle pull in late May. Branch also reports that Hyde isn’t expected to be on the NFI list for long, so it doesn’t appear to be anything serious. Hyde is eligible to be activated at any point during training camp and will be ineligible for the regular season version of the lists when and if he is given the green light.
