WAYNE GALLMAN NEWS

Makes 2021 debut Gallman rushed six times for 29 yards and didn't catch his only target during Sunday's 34-30 loss to Washington.

Impact Gallman was a healthy scratch for the Falcons' first three contests this season. However, the 27-year-old returned to action in Week 4 and finished second on the team in rushing yards, but he was still out touched by both Cordarrelle Patterson and Mike Davis. It's unclear what Gallman's role will be moving forward.

Healthy scratch again Gallman (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 2 divisional matchup against the Buccaneers.

Impact The journeyman back will be a healthy scratch for the second time in as many games to open the season. Mike Davis and Cordarrelle Patterson should once again handle the bulk of backfield work for Atlanta against a notoriously stingy Buccaneers run defense.

Sitting Sunday Gallman (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Sunday against the Eagles, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Gallman was a casualty of cut-down day in San Francisco, and even though he found a new home relatively quickly in Atlanta, his debut with the Falcons will have to wait. With Gallman in street clothes, Mike Davis will lead the team's backfield, while Cordarrelle Patterson handles change-of-pace duties.

Falcons sign RB Wayne Gallman, former Clemson star

Joins Falcons' backfield The Falcons have signed Gallman.

Impact In a corresponding move, the team parted ways with fellow running back Qadree Ollison. As a result, Gallman quickly enters the Falcons' backup RB equation behind starter Mike Davis, with jack-of-all trades Cordarrelle Patterson also in the team's backfield mix. Meanwhile, Caleb Huntley and D'Onta Foreman are members of Atlanta's practice squad.

Cut by San Fran The 49ers released Gallman on Tuesday, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Impact With Jeff Wilson not expected to be ready until midseason due to a torn meniscus, there was a path for Gallman to land on the 49ers' regular-season roster. However, the team instead is keeping JaMycal Hasty and Elijah Mitchell as the primary reserves behind Raheem Mostert and Trey Sermon. Gallman likely will garner interest on the free-agent market after averaging 4.6 yards per carry behind a shaky Giants offensive line last season.

Another strong showing Gallman rushed 13 times for 60 yards in Sunday's 34-10 preseason win over the Raiders.

Impact Gallman turned in another strong performance to increase his roster bid heading into the regular season. His main competition, JaMychal Hasty, also put on a show (six carries for 55 yards and two touchdowns), so the 49ers will likely have a tough decision on their hands come roster cuts. Gallman is a bruiser between the tackles and Hasty is more of a shifty, receiving type, so whoever makes the cut will likely be based on team need. Neither player is expected to have a large role on offense behind Raheem Mostert and Trey Sermon come Week 1 against the Lions.

Strong showing in 49ers debut Gallman rushed 15 times for 72 yards in Sunday's 15-10 preseason win over the Chargers.

Impact Gallman looked strong in his red and gold debut, flashing his north/south running style and gaining healthy chunks between the tackles. He did have an ugly drop on his lone target, but other than that it was a strong performance. The veteran tailback is competing for a backup job behind Raheem Mostert and Trey Sermon this preseason. Gallman will look to build on this outing when the 49ers take on the Raiders next Sunday.

Joins 49ers backfield Gallman agreed to a contract with the 49ers on Wednesday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

Impact Gallman set career highs in rushing yardage (682) and touchdowns (six) in 15 games for the Giants last season while adding 21 receptions for 114 yards. His increased profile in New York's offense was the result of top back Saquon Barkley (knee) missing most of the 2020 campaign with a torn ACL. With the 49ers, Gallman will compete for a depth role behind Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson, a context that doesn't provide the 26-year-old with a clear path to steady carries in 2021.
