49ers coach Jim Harbaugh hasn’t banned his players from Twitter. Yet.

As a result, rookie running back LaMichael James used the social-media outlet on Saturday night to let the world know that he’s fine after leaving Saturday night’s preseason game on a cart with an apparent foot injury.

“I will be 100% at practice Monday In full force believe that go 9ers thanks for all the support I love you guys!”

We love you, too, LaMichael. Because you just made our job a little easier today. (We’d love you even more if you used punctuation in your tweets.)

James, a second-round pick in April, could be a dangerous weapon for the 49ers this year. With defenses focused on not getting pounded up the middle by Frank Gore and not getting burned on the outside by a quintet of No. 1 receivers, James could find plenty of openings if Harbaugh uses him creatively.
