What Hyde's Absence Means for 49ers

With Hyde out of commission once again, the Niners will likely turn to a committee of running backs in order to replace his presence in the lineup.

Shaun Draughn, Kendall Gaskins and Travaris Cadet all figure to get their fair share of touches as quarterback Blaine Gabbert attempts to win his second consecutive game.

Hyde was enjoying a strong season prior to getting injured, with 470 yards and three touchdowns in seven games, but even he may have found it difficult to run on the Cardinals.
