Although the 49ers' medical exam of Marcus Lattimore (knee surgeries) yielded positive results according to Jim Harbaugh, the coach says Lattimore must take a "step back" in terms of cutting drills.
"The ACL looks really good for Marcus," insisted Harbaugh. "We're just going to have to take a step back in terms of the cutting because we want that inside of the knee, the lateral side of the knee to heal fully. But we're good." Lattimore conceded he'd be "fine" with sitting out the entire 2013 season. Harbaugh said the 49ers will determine his playing status at a later date. May 10 - 4:25 PM

Marcus Lattimore - RB - 49ers

The 49ers are expected to place rookie Marcus Lattimore (knee surgeries) on the non-football injury list to open training camp.

He'll get the NFI designation instead of PUP because Lattimore's injuries occurred in college and are not considered pro injuries. Lattimore will likely spend the first six games on the NFI list -- which operates just like PUP -- and the 49ers will reevaluate his progress thereafter. We don't anticipate any 2013 contribution from Lattimore, and the organization likely does not either.

Marcus Lattimore - RB - 49ers

49ers rookie RB Marcus Lattimore (ACL, PCL, LCL surgery) resumed running sprints two weeks ago and has been doing jumping drills.

He'll resume agility work in "a few weeks" and has experienced "no setbacks." Lattimore anticipates being able to put on pads "in three to four months." NFL training camp begins in three months. "Whatever is best for my career or future, I'm good with it," Lattimore said. "The 49ers and the coaches there, we'll come to a conclusion of what we should do. I'm just so fired up, I'm excited about everything and just ready to work hard."

Marcus Lattimore - RB - 49ers

49ers selected South Carolina RB Marcus Lattimore with the No. 131 overall pick.

Lattimore (5-foot-11 1/4, 221) emerged on the national scene with 2,015 yards and 27 scores on his first 412 college carries (4.89 YPC). He tore his left ACL in October 2011 and returned as a shell of his old self in 2012, only to shred his right ACL, PCL, and LCL last October 27. Lattimore is a candidate to "redshirt" his rookie season, and there is no way to know what player he'll be upon return. With thunderous power and surprising agility, Lattimore looked like a top-10 pick in 2010-11. He ran with stiffness and less burst in 2012, looking more like a third- or fourth-rounder. Lattimore can be brought along slowly in San Francisco behind Frank Gore and Kendall Hunter.

Marcus Lattimore - RB - 49ers

South Carolina RB Marcus Lattimore (ACL, MCL, LCL surgery) says the 49ers, Rams, Patriots, and Eagles have shown the most interest in him.

Lattimore ostensibly visited each of those four teams. He'd make great sense in San Francisco, which has the NFL's most picks (13) and isn't necessarily targeting players who will contribute in 2013. He could "redshirt" there. The Eagles also have a ton of picks. Rams coach Jeff Fisher might see Lattimore as his next potential Eddie George. The Patriots may be doing due diligence.

Marcus Lattimore - RB - 49ers

One NFL scout says South Carolina trainers are wary about whether Marcus Lattimore will make it back from his torn right ACL, MCL, and LCL.

He also dislocated his right kneecap. Lattimore shredded so many pieces of his knee that we've had a hard time keeping track. He also tore his left ACL the year before. "I've had trainers tell me he's so far away," said the scout. "One told me he's not going to make it back ever. Others say he'll get back to a certain level. It's a tough repair and a tough rehab." We do think Lattimore will be play-ready by 2014, but are very skeptical he'll ever recapture pre-injuries form.

Marcus Lattimore - RB - 49ers

South Carolina RB Marcus Lattimore (knee surgeries) worked out for reps from 31 teams on Wednesday, and the room "burst into applause when he was done."

It would appear reports of Lattimore's miraculous recovery have not been exaggerated. "You'd think he's 100 percent," said Gamecocks coach Steve Spurrier. "He was very impressive." Lattimore is still in a race to be ready for Week 1, but has "no doubt" he'll return by the first half of the season. Lattimore will be one of the more vexing conundrums for teams in April's draft. He's far from a lock to go before day three.

Marcus Lattimore - RB - 49ers

ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported on NFL 32 that South Carolina RB Marcus Lattimore (knee surgeries) stands little chance of playing football during his rookie season.

"The medicals on him are not great," said Mort. "Dr. (James) Andrews, who did the surgery, says it's one of the toughest surgeries he's ever had. ... You take Marcus Lattimore, you're taking him for 2014. Nobody wants to shoot down the inspiration for him, but the bottom line is it's going to be a long road." Expect Lattimore to be a middle- to late-round flier in April's draft.

Marcus Lattimore - RB - 49ers

Marcus Lattimore told NFL.com's Gil Brandt that he'll begin a running program Monday, but won't run 40s for time.

This is certainly a step in the right direction for Lattimore's recovery, but he's still just four months removed from a devastating knee injury where he tore his ACL, PCL, and LCL. Despite the fact that he's going to start running, it's still very unlikely Lattimore participates in South Carolina's March 27 Pro Day.

Marcus Lattimore - RB - 49ers

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported on Path to the Draft Friday that Dr. James Andrews is unsure of whether Marcus Lattimore (knee surgeries) will be able to play football in 2013.

"Andrews actually told me, 'It's about as bad a knee injury as you could possibly get,'" Rapoport reported. "He was optimistic on Lattimore ... but cautious as far as will (Lattimore) be able to play next season. Really kept that open ended." Lattimore blew out his right knee in late October. No matter Lattimore's goals, interested teams won't count on him contributing in 2013.

Marcus Lattimore - RB - 49ers

South Carolina RB Marcus Lattimore checked in 5-foot-11 1/4 and 221 pounds at Friday's NFL Scouting Combine weigh-in.

It's a smidgen shorter and a shade heavier than Lattimore was listed in the SEC. In other words, nothing that's going to alter evaluations. Recovering from a devastating knee injury, medical tests will be all important for Lattimore at the Combine as he looks to convince teams he's worth the day-two plunge.

Marcus Lattimore - RB - 49ers

South Carolina RB Marcus Lattimore (knee surgeries) believes he can play in 2013.

"I know my body," Lattimore said. "I know if I'm progressing the way I am, I'll be ready to play. I won't have to sit out a year." Lattimore will conduct interviews at this week's Combine, and is holding out hope he can participate in South Carolina's March 27 Pro Day. That's extremely unlikely to happen, but the fact that Lattimore is willing to publicly consider it is proof his rehab is going as well as possible. NFL Network's Mike Mayock believes Lattimore could go as early as the third round.

Marcus Lattimore - RB - 49ers

Citing people familiar with South Carolina RB Marcus Lattimore's (knee surgeries) rehab, NFL Network's Mike Mayock stated on a Monday conference call that he's heard Lattimore is "way ahead of schedule."

"I think he's gonna go somewhere in the third round," said Mayock. Mayock turned some heads by ranking Lattimore as a top-five running back in this year's class, but it appears he's got solid information on the onetime college star's rehab. It will be interesting to see whether Lattimore performs any drills before the draft. He tore his right ACL, PCL, and LCL on October 27.

Marcus Lattimore - RB - 49ers

South Carolina RB Marcus Lattimore will forego his senior season with the Gamecocks and enter the 2013 NFL draft.

Lattimore drew Earl Campbell comparisons as a 6-foot, 218-power back as a freshman and sophomore before tearing his left ACL in October of 2011. He returned faster than expected in 2012, but was clearly not the same player as a junior and suffered another devastating injury in late October, tearing his right ACL and MCL. Lattimore will be in a similar situation to Willis McGahee in 2003. He is blessed with first-round talent when 100 percent, but may have to sit out the 2013 season. We still expect someone to take a chance on Lattimore on the second day of the draft.
