A Florida native, Michel signed with the team in May of this year but was eventually considered a redundant asset in the Dolphins' running back room.

Michel was given nine rush attempts through three preseason games and managed 13 yards combined. All signs point toward this being a split backfield with Raheem Mostert being utilized as a change-of-pace back behind Chase Edmonds, who could end up as the fantasy steal of the summer, particularly for those of whom were drafting him when his ADP was at the end of the 9th Round.

Raheem Mostert himself has reported that he has been cleared from his knee injury that kept him out of 99% of the 2021 season.

Mostert is an explosive threat with the ball in his hands but has a long, checkered history with injuries and is heading into his year-30 season. The Chase Edmonds lead-back role is not threatened by the news of Mostert's healthy diagnosis, though this does open the door for late-round consideration if the former 49er is truly ready to go. He has familiarity with new head coach Mike McDaniel and could be in store for some spike weeks, even if he is relegated to a lesser role with Edmonds in town.

In a tweet sent our Thursday morning, Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert updated folks saying that he is close to 100% health following knee surgery last year.

Mostert is expected to compete for work behind Chase Edmonds. His competition includes Sony Michel, Myles Gaskin, and Salvon Ahmed, among others. The Dolphins backfield is one of the most difficult to gauge ahead of training camps beginning in July.

The Miami Dolphins have signed RB Raheem Mostert to a one-year deal.

The Dolphins running back situation looks the same as in San Francisco. Imagine that.

Mostert is explosive when healthy but once again finds himself in a crowded backfield.

Free agent RB Raheem Mostert underwent tests in Dallas this week with Dr. Dan Cooper, who said Mostert is making a full recovery and will be ready to play this season, according to his agent Brett Tessler.

Mostert has shown flashes of excellence when he has been healthy, and his market on a one-year prove-it deal could make his free agent market larger.

Raheem Mostert, Jeff Wilson and Trenton Cannon are scheduled to be unrestricted free agents in March. Given how vital that position is, I think the 49ers should re-sign Wilson (no brainer), re-sign Mostert (more expensive, yes, but it’s necessary) and bring in one more additional runner. That would give them: Mostert, Elijah Mitchell, Wilson, Trey Sermon, JaMycal Hasty and _____ to start the offseason.

The author went on to say the 49ers’ motto when it comes to running backs ought to be: We can never have enough. The big fantasy question would be who is the lead back as Mostert, Mitchell and Wilson have all had the role at one time or another.

49ers' RB attrition is wild. Jeff Wilson, Raheem Mostert, Trey Sermon, Elijah Mitchell, JaMycal Hasty all now hurt. TBD on the Week 3 status of the final three.

What does SF do this week? Depends on health developments, but seems there's a good chance they start with a Kerryon Johnson practice squad call-up.

Sermon, Mitchell and Hasty were all injured in Week 2. Sermon appeared to be dealing with a head injury which could cost him time depending on protocols. Mitchell is dealing with a shoulder injury but the hope is he avoided something major. Meanwhile, Hasty is dealing with an ankle injury. It will be a situation to watch as the week goes on leading to Week 3. One problem for owners is the 9ers play on Sunday night against the Packers, so any game-time decisions will cause a need for backup plans.

And with RB Raheem Mostert announcing today that he is out for the season with a knee injury he sustained vs. Detroit, the 49ers now are signing former Lions’ RB Kerryon Johnson to their practice squad, per his agent

The news of Mostert now being out for the season is a huge blow to fantasy teams who took their shot he would be the team's RB1. After Mostert went out, it was Mitchell who carried 19 times for over 100 yards and a score. For now, he's the presumed starter as both he and Hasty beat out Sermon in camp, according to Kyle Shanahan. Sermon should still be owned and has draft capital in his favor, but he may not have much of a role in the short term. For now it looks like it's going to be Mitchell's job.

Well that didn't take long. The injuries at RB for the 49ers continue. Mostert will go on IR and HC Kyle Shanahan said expectation is about eight weeks for Mostert to return according to Wagoner. Mike Clay would tweet that the pecking order for RBs right now is Mitchell, Hasty and Sermon, and you can expect Sermon to be active against the Eagles in Week 2. As we posted earlier today, Sermon was simply beat out by Mitchell and Hasty in camp according to Shanahan. It's been no secret the team has loved Mitchell who was selected in the later rounds, but Sermon is the back with the highest draft capital. Sermon is a very risky start until we see him make a move up the depth chart, so for now it's Mitchell.

Kyle Shanahan says that Elijah Mitchell and JaMycal Hasty simply beat out Trey Sermon in training camp/preseason.

Those who play dynasty league probably weren't shocked to see Mitchell earn time after Mostert went out with an injury. There's been all kinds of positive news in terms of the 49ers and their love for his ability since he was drafted. Yes it was against the Lions, but Mitchell ran for 19-104-1 after Mostert left the game. The 9ers backfield situation is always one to watch and is usually filled with injuries making the situation a fluid one week-to-week. Mitchell should be a popular pickup on the wires this week, but if Mostert is out in Week 2, Sermon could get a chance to make his mark as well.
