49ers' Shaun Draughn: Held out due to injury, manages to strengthen hold on No. 2 role

Draughn (back) was held out of Saturday's contest as a precaution, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

Analysis:

Draughn took a shot to his lower back in last week's preseason game against Houston and was held out of Saturday's contest as a precaution. Despite not playing, Draughn appears to have tightened his hold on the 49ers' primary backup job after Mike Davis -- who had a strong showing last week -- took a step back, losing two fumbles Saturday.
