Team news: San Francisco 49ers | Page 14

Offensive tackle Brandon Coleman (shoulder), center Tyler Biadasz (ribs/thumb/foot), defensive end Clelin Ferrell (knee), offensive tackle Cornelius Lucas (ankle), offensive tackle Andrew Wylie (shoulder), and running back Brian Robinson (hamstring) are listed as limited.

Robinson has missed three of the last five games, including the last two. He's hoping to play on Thursday night in a division showdown against the Eagles but as of now it's looking like another game-time call. Hopefully we'll know more tomorrow as today was just an estimation.

The 49ers officially activated RB Christian McCaffrey from injured reserve Saturday.

McCaffrey will make his season debut Sunday against the Buccaneers after dealing with Achilles tendinitis since the preseason. McCaffrey isn't quite at the top of the board just yet, but he does slide into the top 10 among running backs this week against a middle-of-the-pack rush defense in Tampa Bay.

Commanders RB Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) is out for Sunday vs. Pittsburgh.

This turns into a fantastic spot for Ekeler, who should be in consideration as an RB2 with pass-catching upside.

Doug Pederson said it’s trending to Trevor Lawrence not playing Sunday vs. Vikings and Mac Jones would start in his place.

With Lawrence possibly needing surgery (and not playing that well, to boot), Jones can be considered a potential stash for the rest of the season, though that's only appealing in Superflex/2QB leagues.

As Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence (left shoulder) continues to get treatment and weigh options for the future, sources say he’s considered unlikely to play Sunday vs the Vikings.

Lawrence was limited in practice yesterday & coach Doug Pederson was noncommittal about his status.

We're now at the point of possibly fading all fantasy pieces from the Jaguars, who were already one of the lowest-projected teams of the week. Brian Thomas Jr. and Evan Engram are really the only two options here, and their ceilings have been drastically lowered.

49ers RB Christian McCaffrey was limited in practice today, but HC Kyle Shanahan said he has had “no pain”, an encouraging sign for his availability Sunday.

If the 49ers had a commanding lead in the NFC West, there's a pretty good chance they would be more willing to ease CMC back into the gameplan, but at 4-4, they are not really in a position to mess around here. If McCaffrey is good to go, we should consider him an RB1 in Week 10.

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence will be limited in practice today due to what Doug Pederson is calling an upper body injury. Pederson said it’s too early to say if Lawrence will play Sunday.

The Jaguars are beat up all over the field in what has quickly circled into a lost season. Brian Thomas Jr. can still be in lineup consideration, but outside of him and TE Evan Engram, this is a situation to avoid.

Running back Christian McCaffrey is back on the practice field with the 49ers.

Videos from reporters showed McCaffrey on the field Monday, but any word on his participation level won’t come until Wednesday’s injury report is released.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan said last week that the plan was for McCaffrey, who has missed the entire season with an Achilles injury, to spend the bye week ramping up his work before joining the team at practice this week. That plan did not change and the 49ers officially opened his window to return on Monday, the story went on to say. McCaffrey can practice for the next 21 days before the team would reach a deadline to activate him, but Shanahan indicated that the hope was to have McCaffrey available against the Buccaneers in Week 10 the story added.

Commanders RB Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) is officially questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Giants.

This is a separate injury than Robinson (knee) was dealing with a couple of weeks ago, so this is unlikely just a flare-up. If BRob misses Week 9, consider Austin Ekeler a fringe RB2/3 with McNichols operating as a desperation flyer.

49ers expecting to get WR Jauan Jennings (hip) back after the bye, per Kyle Shanahan.

The Niners should be as close to full strength on offense as they'll ever be this year, only missing Brandon Aiyuk. Jennings should slide into the team's WR2 role as the Niners are expecting Deebo Samuel back as well. Factor in the return of Christian McCaffrey and San Francisco will be poised for a run in the second half of the season. The returning weapons should also boost QB Brock Purdy's fantasy value as well.
