Niners RB Jordan Mason returned from his Week 6 shoulder injury to reclaim control of the backfield in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. He played 85.7% of offensive snaps, trailing only QB Brock Purdy and TE George Kittle among skill-position 49ers. Mason also handled 14 of 15 HB carries -- FB Kyle Juszczyk had one as well -- and garnered 2 of 3 targets for the position. Mason ran 27 routes (73% share) to just 3 for Isaac Guerendo. Purdy killed Mason's fantasy line, though, by vulturing a pair of 1-yard TD plunges.
49ers RB Christian McCaffrey is on track to return on November 10th against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 10. There have been no setbacks with his Achilles tendinitis and the 49ers are planning for him to return in about three weeks.
49ers RB Jordan Mason (shoulder) is not listed on the final injury report for Sunday’s game vs. the Chiefs. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday. There’s still some risk that Mason’s workload is scaled back a bit, or that he reinjures the shoulder. And the matchup is tough against Kansas City’s top-ranked RB defense. But Mason still belongs in fantasy lineups in most cases.
49ers RB Jordan Mason (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's practice. HC Kyle Shanahan previously labeled Mason "day to day" with his sprained AC joint. He seems legitimately questionable for Sunday's showdown with the Chiefs. We'll keep you updated on Mason's status leading up to that one. His absence would leave rookie Isaac Guerendo as San Francisco's lead back against the league's top-ranked RB defense.
49ers HC Kyle Shanahan labeled RB Jordan Mason "day to day" with the sprained AC joint he suffered in his left shoulder in Thursday night's win over the Seahawks. Mason has another nine days to heal up for a Week 7 showdown with the Chiefs. It sounds like he has a good chance to be ready for that one. We'll track his status throughout next week.
The 49ers believe RB Jordan Mason is dealing with an AC sprain in his left shoulder, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. The injury "is not considered serious, but he will undergo further testing today," Schefter adds. It sounds like Mason at least has a chance to be ready for Week 7's game vs. the Chiefs. We'll look for further updates on his status. Rookie Isaac Guerendo will likely operate as San Francisco's lead back if Mason misses time.
49ers RB Jordan Mason injured his left shoulder midway through the second quarter of Thursday night's game vs. the Seahawks. He missed the rest of the half, returned to carry on the first play of the third quarter, but then didn't play again. Mason was never officially ruled out and remained on the sidelines trying to keep his shoulder loose. HC Kyle Shanahan said after the game that they'd find out more about the injury on Friday. Mason was on his way to a big game, carrying nine times for 73 yards in less than one half of action.
49ers RB Christian McCaffrey has been dealing with tendinitis in both Achilles, according to NBC Sports Bay Area's Matt Maiocco. It's still unclear when he started having these issues (it was reported as a calf injury all August) but helps explain why McCaffrey has had so much trouble getting on the field. McCaffrey is expected to ramp up his rehab this week, although it sounds like Week 10 is his likeliest date to return to game action.
49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (Achilles, calf) is expected back "at least by early November," according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. San Francisco has a Week 9 bye in the first week of November, which makes it sound like Week 10 vs. the Bucs on November 10 is McCaffrey's likeliest return date. HC Kyle Shanahan said Friday that CMC's rehab would start ramping up this coming week, and Rapoport hears that McCaffrey is ready to resume running on the field. We'll continue to keep a close eye on his progress.
49ers RB Christian McCaffrey is back with the team, GM John Lynch said Friday. McCaffrey recently traveled to Germany for treatment on his Achilles tendinitis. "Now, we can start the process of building back up," GM John Lynch said.
49ers RB Christian McCaffrey is seeing a specialist in Germany about his lingering Achilles tendinitis, HC Kyle Shanahan said Monday. "Those treatments likely involve therapies designed to increase blood flow — and thus the healing process — in his sore Achilles," The Athletic's Matt Barrows writes.
49ers TE George Kittle (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for this weekend’s game vs. the Rams. Kittle showed up on Thursday with a sore hamstring and missed the final two practices of the week. The Niners will be down Kittle, RB Christian McCaffrey, and WR Deebo Samuel on Sunday. They’ll need to lean on RB Jordan Mason and WR Brandon Aiyuk. WR Jauan Jennings should also see a boosted role. TE Eric Saubert looks like the Kittle replacement but would be a desperation fantasy play. The 30-year-old owns 38 career catches.
49ers WR Deebo Samuel will miss "a couple of weeks" with a calf injury suffered in Sunday's loss to the Vikings, HC Kyle Shanahan said.
Niners RB Jordan Mason carried 20 times for 100 yards and a TD in Sunday's loss at Minnesota. He drew nearly 100% of the RB rushing snare, with rookie RB Isaac Guerendo garnering just one attempt. WR Deebo Samuel took two other carries but lost 10 yards on his work. Mason added one catch for 4 yards on his lone target.
49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (calf, Achilles) "is likely to be out six weeks or potentially more," NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said this morning.

49ers RB Christian McCaffrey will officially not play again for Week 2 due to his Achilles injury. Despite getting in limited practices all week, McCaffrey will miss his second straight game to open the season with RB Jordan Mason taking over the starting role like he did against the Jets. HC Kyle Shanahan said that IR is a possibility for McCaffrey
49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (calf, Achilles) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He was limited all three days last week before winding up inactive for the Jets game. HC Kyle Shanahan has labeled McCaffrey "day-to-day," but both ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport have suggested that McCaffrey is unlikely to play vs. the Vikings this weekend. We're projecting him out for Week 2 for now and will continue to keep you updated on his status.
