Chances are he will be back, What good is he for anyone?

Yeah, he'll go unclaimed and will revert back to the IR.

How is he not reliable but fairly steady? Benjamin might not make it. Webster looked super fluid, quick and smooth returning. Like a natural

Webster also misplayed a kick that ended up on a possession starting at the 10.

"If/when James clears waivers, he will revert to injured reserve. Since James' knee injury is not believed to be season-ending — he has been given a six-week timeline — it means the 49ers will have to release him with an injury settlement once he is healthy. He will not be eligible to re-sign with the 49ers without playing somewhere else first."

I liked Richie but it seems he really had problems catching Lanes's passes.. he was solid as a punt returner.. No huge returns but only one f up that I can remember. We'll miss him there if we have turnovers fielding punts

So, once healthy he'll be released. Good.
