The 49ers have signed restricted free agent RB Jeff Wilson, Jr. to a one-year contract.

He set career-highs with 126 carries, 600 yards and 7 TD, playing great for the team late in the season.

Coming off a career-high season, Jeff Wilson will once again be competing with Raheem Mostert for the lead job as they're both now signed through the 2021 season. Both Tevin Coleman and Jerick McKinnon are set to be unrestricted free agents this offseason, leaving the third-down back slot up in the air.

The 49ers are shutting down running back Raheem Mostert and receiver Deebo Samuel for the season, coach Kyle Shanahan announced Tuesday.

We just posted a story about Mostert, but the Samuel news isn't really a surprise either. He is dealing with a hamstring injury and was going to miss time. Samuel played seven games, gaining 417 yards and scoring one touchdown on 41 touches.

Raheem Mostert’s aggravated ankle sprain ends his season with 521 rushing yards and two touchdowns in eight starts, half of which he was unable to finish.

The 49ers likely will start Wilson against the Cardinals, after Shanahan said Wilson emerged healthy enough last game despite ankle and hamstring concerns, the story said. Coleman and McKinnon are available in relief. Austin Walter is eligible to come off COVID-19 reserve by kickoff but Shanahan doubts his availability.

49ers RB Raheem Mostert is having further imaging done on his ankle, according to Kyle Shanahan.

Wagoner's tweet went on to say Shanahan said team will know more about Wilson's ankle issue on Wednesday. For Mostert owners, it doesn't seem like a good sign as far as his status goes for Week 15. If Mostert can't go, Wilson could see more work in what has been a split the last few weeks. McKinnon, who hasn't seen much action at all, could be involved. What's interesting is it's a juicy matchup against the Cowboys who have often been gashed against the run.

49ers RBs Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson Jr. will be activated from IR for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams, according to Cam Inman of the San Jose Mercury.

The two should be in a commitee with Jerick McKinnon, as Tevin Coleman is still out in Week 12. The 49ers backfield is heading back to a timeshare zero fantasy players asked for.

The 49ers officially designated RBs Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson Jr. for return from injured reserve, per the transaction wire.

This opens up their 21 day window. Heading into the bye week, the 9ers were optimistic to have Mostert and Coleman back for Week 12. It's still possible the team could have all their RBs healthy this week. Mostert should lead the way as the main back if he plays, but after that roles could be cloudy and it could be more of a hot hand situation.
