49ers RB Jerick McKinnon (knee) could practice this week

Shanahan said a slew of 49ers are on tap to return to practice this week: Among them is Jerick McKinnon.

Some who follow the team thought McKinnon could start the year on the IR, but this is at least a sign there's a chance he plays sooner than later. Still, owners will have to deal with Coleman and Breida ahead of him as far as fantasy production goes.
