The San Francisco 49ers are releasing running back Khalil Herbert, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, ending his stay just two weeks after he signed a one-year deal on August 2. Herbert logged six carries for 18 yards and two catches for 35 yards in last week’s preseason game but projected to sit deep on a crowded depth chart. The move suggests San Francisco is comfortable with the health of its backfield. (source: ESPN/NBC Sports)
