Former San Francisco 49ers running back/kick returner LaMichael James reached a contract agreement Tuesday to join the Miami Dolphins’ practice squad.

James was frustrated with his playing time in San Francisco and released by the 49ers on Sept. 9.

The 2012 second-round draft pick was used sparingly on offense in his two-plus seasons with the 49ers, getting just 41 carries for 184 yards as a running back. As a returner, he averaged 28.4 yards on kickoffs and 10.9 yards on punts.

James began the 2014 season behind veteran running back Frank Gore and rookie Carlos Hyde on the 49ers’ depth chart.

The Dolphins are currently down a running back after Knowshon Moreno suffered a dislocated elbow.
