The Facts: Hurd is rehabbing from an torn anterior cruciate ligament this time, an injury that happened in a training camp practice last August. "Jalen's rehab is going well," GM John Lynch said. "We're eager to get him back here, because he's been rehabbing away. But we check in regularly, and he's doing a nice job with his rehab, so we're excited about that. I think Jalen's always been a hard worker, and has just had some tough luck with that stuff. He'll continue to work hard, and we think he'll be ready to go."
Diehards Line:
Hurd missed his rookie season with a stress fracture in his back and has spent his first two seasons on injured reserve after San Francisco made him a third-round choice. Worth noting, for the first time since 2002, the 49ers did not select a wideout. The 49ers have Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk and Richie James among those in the receivers room. And they also clearly have hope Hurd can get on the field and help their cause.
