49ers RB Jordan James suffers rib injury during training camp

San Francisco 49ers running back Jordan James has suffered a fractured rib, an injury caused by a collision with a teammate during a practice session earlier in the week. The incident occurred before players donned pads, which typically increases the level of contact. Acting head coach Chris Foerster commented that overaggressiveness from the defense may have contributed to the injury. While the recovery timeline is uncertain, James is expected to miss some time in training camp, potentially impacting his competition for the RB2 spot against rookie Kaelon Black. Foerster mentioned that the severity of the injury can vary, but James might not be sidelined for an extended period, allowing him to return to the lineup once healed.
