General manager Trent Baalke said that Hyde (ankle) has dropped his weight to 220 pounds this offseason, Jason Butt of CBSSports.com reports.

Analysis:

Hyde was 235 pounds last season, and he has apparently shed 15 pounds this offseason. The second-year back is more of a power runner than a burner, so losing some weight could result in a more agile Hyde. He is expected to be the 49ers' primary back this season, with Reggie Bush and Kendall Hunter also sharing the backfield duties.
