49ers RB Kaelon Black (groin) is expected to play vs. the Dolphins today, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The rookie was added to the injury report on Thursday and then limited again in Friday’s practice before being listed as questionable. Black carried 14 times in the opener and should get positive game script today with the 49ers big favorites. But the groin issue adds obvious risk to his profile.

49ers RB Kaelon Black (groin) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Dolphins. He was added to the injury report on Thursday and then limited again in Friday’s practice. Asked Friday how much optimism he has that Black will play this weekend, HC Kyle Shanahan said, "A questionable amount of optimism." Ok then. Black would be a shaky fantasy start at less than 100%. His absence would leave Jordan James as San Francisco’s No. 2 RB and likely mean more work for Christian McCaffrey.

49ers RB Kaelon Black was added to the injury report and limited in practice on Thursday with a groin. We don't have any other details on that injury but will get San Francisco's final injury report tomorrow afternoon. Black played a big role in the opener, out-carrying Christian McCaffrey 14 to 10. His absence would leave Jordan James as the 49ers' No. 2 RB and likely mean more work for McCaffrey.

49ers RB Kaelon Black appears to be the frontrunner for the No. 2 job, according to Noah Furtado of the SF Chronicle. Black was a third-round pick in this year's draft and widely viewed as a reach after he wasn't invited to the NFL Combine. But he seems to have bounced back from an early-August thigh injury and made a strong camp impression, putting him ahead of second-year RB Jordan James, who missed part of camp with a fractured rib.

49ers RB Jordan James fractured a rib in Monday's practice and "will miss some time," ESPN's Nick Wagoner reports. James opened camp running as the No. 2 RB, but his absence gives rookie Kaelon Black a chance to grab that job.
