SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) -Before San Francisco added free agent Brian Westbrook to its backfield this week, the 49ers made it a point to consult with Frank Gore first.
The two-time Pro Bowl running back, who has led the team in rushing each of the past five seasons, quickly gave his blessing.
Westbrook signed a one-year deal with the 49ers on Monday and was greeted by a loud applause from 49ers fans attending the team’s open practice Tuesday as he trotted onto the field for the first workout with his new team.
The former Philadelphia Eagles star took part in individual drills and did some light running but spent much of the two-hour workout as a spectator while Gore and rookie Anthony Dixon handled the reps on offense.
