The San Francisco 49ers are reportedly bringing back a familiar face to an injury-depleted backfield.

Jeff Wilson Jr., who spent the first four-plus years of his NFL career in San Francisco before spending the past three seasons in Miami, will re-sign with the 49ers after working out for the team on July 30.

The 2018 undrafted free agent out of North Texas rushed for 1,733 yards and 15 touchdowns with San Francisco, which traded the running back to Miami midway through the 2022 season.

Wilson ran for just 637 yards and three scores in Miami, appearing in only 19 games over the past two years.

The 29-year-old adds some depth for the 49ers, who have seen several running backs succumb to injuries recently.

Ameer Abdullah, who worked out with Wilson on July 30 and signed with the team, exited Saturday’s preseason opener against Denver with a rib injury. Isaac Guerendo (shoulder) and Jordan James (broken finger) also have been sidelined.

That left San Francisco with only Christian McCaffrey, Corey Kiner, Patrick Taylor Jr. and recently signed Ke’Shawn Vaughn as healthy options in the backfield.
