49ers injury report for Week 16 is full of bad news

All the latest updates and news on 49ers’ injury report ahead of a Week 16 game vs. Dolphins.

The San Francisco 49ers will once again have injury problems entering their Week 16 matchup against the Miami Dolphins.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan in his press conference following Friday’s practice officially ruled out running back Isaac Guerendo for Sunday’s game. Defensive end Nick Bosa and linebacker Dre Greenlaw are also questionable.

Guerendo is working through a hamstring injury he suffered in Week 15 after returning from a foot injury he sustained in Week 14.

Bosa also made his return in Week 15 after missing three games with hip and oblique issues. He’s dealing with those same injuries. Greenlaw is listed with Achilles and knee issues after his season debut in Week 15. He missed the first 13 games recovering from an Achilles tear in the Super Bowl.

In some good news, defensive tackle Maliek Collins was a full participant and not listed on the injury report after missing Wednesday and Thursday with an illness. Offensive tackle Jaylon Moore, who will start at left tackle for Trent Williams, was also not listed after a full practice Friday. He was limited the first two days. Safety Malik Mustapha was also a limited participant Wednesday and Thursday before getting a full session in. He’s also not on the injury report and looks in line to play Sunday after sitting out Week 15.

New injury update for Isaac Guerendo isn’t promising for 49ers rookie

The San Francisco 49ers will have a fourth different starting RB against the Miami Dolphins.

The San Francisco 49ers are going to have a fourth different starting running back this season according to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Running back Isaac Guerendo suffered a hamstring injury in the 49ers’ Week 15 loss to the Los Angeles Rams and is unlikely to suit up Sunday for the team’s Week 16 matchup against the Miami Dolphins.

Guerendo was absent from Wednesday’s practice because of the injury.

It’s the second consecutive game the 49ers rookie RB has suffered an injury. He also hurt his foot in Week 14 against the Chicago Bears and was questionable to play in Week 15. He put together a strong outing on the short turnaround to Thursday night, but exited the contest with a new issue.

Guerendo played in only 41 games across five college seasons in part because of injuries. This is the second time as a rookie he’s missed time with a hamstring ailment. He also missed almost all of training camp with the same issue.

With Guerendo out, the 49ers will likely turn to RB Patrick Taylor who has been the backup with Guerendo starting. San Francisco also has Israel Abanikanda who they acquired off waivers from the New York Jets after RBs Christian McCaffrey and Jordan Mason went down with injuries. Ke’Shawn Vaughn is also on the practice squad and may get promoted to the active roster if there’s a player the 49ers wind up placing on IR with three weeks to go.

49ers open Week 16 practice with 3 players missing, 5 limited

The San Francisco 49ers had a busy practice report to open Week 16 preparations for the Miami Dolphins.

With the postseason virtually out of reach, the San Francisco 49ers can start turning an eye toward the 2025 season. However, it doesn’t appear the 49ers are aiming to start shutting things down with three games to go.

San Francisco’s practice participation report from Wednesday featured a trio of players missing, including left tackle Trent Williams and running back Isaac Guerendo. Williams is still working through an ankle issue. Guerendo had a hamstring injury crop up during the team’s Week 15 loss to the Los Angeles Rams.

Beyond that, players like defensive end Nick Bosa and linebacker Dre Greenlaw were still participating in practice on a limited basis despite playing through injury issues of their own.

Bosa has been dealing with hip and oblique problems since Week 10, and they cost him three games before his return against the Rams. Greenlaw made his season debut in Week 15 after recovering from a torn Achilles. He left the game with what head coach Kyle Shanahan classified as fatigue and soreness. That both players were in practice to begin the week is a good sign for their chances to suit up Sunday in Miami.

More bad injury news for another 49ers RB leading up to game vs. Dolphins

Another RB injury…

The story of the San Francisco 49ers season may be perfectly summarized by their struggles in the offensive backfield.

Injuries have plagued them since training camp when running back Christian McCaffrey was shut down because of Achilles tendinitis that wound up costing him the first nine weeks.

Another knee injury to McCaffrey and a high ankle sprain for RB Jordan Mason in the team’s Week 13 loss pushed the 49ers to third-string rookie RB Isaac Guerendo to start Week 14. He played well, but sprained his foot in the win over the Chicago Bears.

Guerendo returned despite a quick turnaround to a Thursday night game vs. the Los Angeles Rams in Week 15, but he wound up sustaining another injury during the 49ers’ 12-6 loss.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan on Wednesday in a press conference told reporters Guerendo sustained a hamstring injury against the Rams.

This is a pretty sizable red flag since hamstring issues plagued Guerendo in college and cost him most of training camp. His status for Sunday’s matchup with the Miami Dolphins is unclear, but it wouldn’t be a surprise if the 49ers are conservative with their fourth-round pick.

The 49ers have only three games left and their postseason hopes are effectively extinguished. Guerendo has performed well enough in his two games to give some optimism about his future in the 49ers’ backfield. San Francisco may not want to risk any long-term damage in the name of winning a Week 16 game in a lost season.

49ers inactives: Lots of good injury news vs. Rams

Thursday Night Football against the Rams will mark the return of two key pieces on the 49ers’ defense.

For the first time maybe all season, the San Francisco 49ers are getting good news when it comes to injuries and inactive for their Thursday Night Football tilt against the Los Angeles Rams at Levi’s Stadium.

Before the positive news, the 49ers announced six inactive players for Thursday night, including All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams and rookie safety Malik Mustapha. New running back Israel Abanikanda is also listed as inactive along with QB Joshua Dobbs, DL Khalil Davis and CB Rock Ya-Sin.

Via @AdamSchefter on Twitter:

While they’ll have to figure out how to deal with the Rams without Williams and Mustapha, the 49ers will be getting back defensive star Dre Greenlaw and Nick Bosa.

Along with the highly anticipated returns for Bosa and Greenlaw, the 49ers will also have breakout running back Isaac Guerendo on the field on Thursday. Guerendo has been banged up since his performance last week against the Bears. The rookie running back has been dealing with a foot sprain.

The 49ers will kick off against the Rams on Thursday night at 5:20 p.m. PT.

Dre Greenlaw officially activated, OL placed on IR

Dre Greenlaw is officially back for the San Francisco 49ers.

The San Francisco 49ers on Thursday made Dre Greenlaw’s return official when they activated him off the PUP list.

Greenlaw has been on the PUP list since training camp began while recovering from an Achilles tear he suffered in the Super Bowl. After a full practice participation Wednesday, Greenlaw was officially listed as questionable for Thursday’s game vs. the Los Angeles Rams at Levi’s Stadium.

NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport on Thursday morning reported Greenlaw would be eased into action, intimating he won’t immediately take over his every-down role as the Will LB alongside Fred Warner. That spot has been held by veteran DeVondre Campbell all season. Greenlaw could take on the Sam LB role where he primarily plays in run situations. Dee Winters has taken that job for most of the season.

In a corresponding move, the 49ers placed offensive lineman Ben Bartch on IR after he sustained a high ankle sprain in Sunday’s win over the Chicago Bears. That opened a roster spot for Greenlaw. Bartch performed well in place of starting left guard Aaron Banks who missed two games with a concussion. Spencer Burford will now slide up to the backup LG spot.

Running back Ke’Shawn Vaughn was also elevated from the practice squad for a second consecutive week. He could be the backup to RB Patrick Taylor if Isaac Guerendo can’t play because of his foot sprain. Guerendo is officially questionable.

Is Isaac Guerendo playing today? Injury updates for 49ers RB

49ers RB Isaac Guerendo is dealing with a foot injury. Here are the latest updates.

The San Francisco 49ers have been decimated by injuries all year, specifically at the running back position. Christian McCaffrey and Jordan Mason are both on injured reserve, leaving rookie Isaac Guerendo as the top back.

Guerendo injured his foot in Week 14 against the Chicago Bears and was replaced by Patrick Taylor, leaving his status for Thursday’s game against the Los Angeles Rams up in the air.

Despite the short week, Guerendo is in good shape to play against the 49ers’ rival at home tonight.

Isaac Guerendo injury update

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Guerendo plans to play against the Rams. He’s officially listed as questionable, but he’s expected to give it a go at Levi’s Stadium.

In addition to Guerendo, the 49ers also have Taylor and Israel Abanikanda in the backfield. If healthy, Guerendo is expected to be the 49ers’ top running back, with the other two backing him up.

The 49ers won’t be down to their 4th-string running back tonight against the Rams as Isaac Guerendo is expected to play

No team has dealt with more injuries at the running back position this season than the San Francisco 49ers. The Los Angeles Rams know that feeling all too well, given the injury histories of Cam Akers, Darrell Henderson Jr. and even Kyren Williams over the years.

The 49ers already lost Christian McCaffrey and Jordan Mason, forcing them to roll with their third- and fourth-string running backs for the rest of the year, most likely. Isaac Guerendo filled in as the starter last week but he suffered a foot injury and exited their win over the Bears.

With the short week, he seemed unlikely to play but it sounds like he’s going to suit up against the Rams tonight.

Isaac Guerendo injury update

Adam Schefter reported on Thursday morning that Guerendo is expected to play. Guerendo insists that he “feels good” but he’s listed as questionable so we won’t know until 90 minutes before kickoff if he’s officially active.

49ers RB depth chart

If Guerendo is a late scratch or gets hurt in the game, the 49ers are thin at running back. They have Patrick Taylor backing him up and then Israel Abanikanda behind him as the third-string.

49ers vs Rams injury report: Latest update, news on Isaac Guerendo for Week 15

All the latest updates and news on 49ers’ injury report ahead of a Week 15 game vs. the Rams.

The San Francisco 49ers’ Week 15 injury report inspired a little bit of optimism on the health front as they enter a virtual must-win matchup with the Los Angeles Rams.

Running back Isaac Guerendo returned to practice after being listed as a non-participant Monday and Tuesday because of a foot injury. He was limited and is officially questionable, but that’s a better sign than if he missed the session entirely.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan early in the week indicated there was some hope Guerendo would be ready for Thursday. There was no media availability Wednesday so it’s unclear how much progress Guerendo made during the week.

Other good news featured the return of defensive end Nick Bosa. He was limited and is listed as questionable after missing the last three games with hip and oblique injuries.

Linebacker Dre Greenlaw was also a full participant for the first time since having his 21-day practice window opened. He missed the last two games and was limited Monday and Tuesday. A full practice and ‘questionable’ designation mean he could make his return Thursday night at Levi’s Stadium.

Mustapha was downgraded to a non-participant Wednesday. Ji’Ayir Brown figures to get the start alongside Talanoa Hufanga.

Questionable

It would be a massive lift and some awesome injury news if Bosa, Greenlaw and Guerendo all play Thursday.

No news isn’t good news on 49ers crowded Week 15 practice report

Tuesday’s practice report didn’t have any news for the 49ers as they work through a host of injury problems.

The San Francisco 49ers didn’t have any significant changes on their participation report following Tuesday’s practice.

Monday’s participation report was just an estimate because San Francisco didn’t practice with their quick turnaround to Thursday night when they host the Los Angeles Rams.

However, the report from Tuesday’s walkthrough wasn’t much different from Monday’s. The only change was defensive tackle Khalil Davis showing up as a limited participant with a knee injury after not appearing on Monday’s projection.

While a handful of key players are out of practice, rookie running back Isaac Guerendo is the player to keep the closest eye on. He was a non-participant again because of a foot sprain he suffered in Week 14. Shanahan said there’s some hope he’ll be ready by Thursday, but a couple of non-participations to start the week doesn’t instill much optimism that Guerendo will be ready to suit up against the Rams.

Here’s the full Thursday practice report:

Did not participate

G Ben Bartch (ankle)
DE Nick Bosa (hip, oblique)
RB Isaac Guerendo (foot)
LT Trent Williams (ankle)
