Rookie Davis-Price has time to work his way into that number two slot, but he has some work to do to create separation behind starter Elijah Mitchell.

The article goes on to say, "the 225-pounder (Davis-Price) has managed to look like a violent runner even in non-padded practices, and the 49ers are eager to see whether that plays out in the...offseason." Jeff Wilson has shown flashes of production with the San Francisco offense in the past but has had a long history with injuries. If Davis-Price can't wrest the RB2 slot away before Week 1, I would expect the switch to come soon after.

For now, at least, [Elijah Mitchell is] the clear RB1.

Wagoner went on to say in his tweet the 49ers have done a lot of work on the run game, which is often the case early in camp. He said Mitchell is noticeably bulked up a bit from last year to better handle the pounding the job requires and there were no shortage of touches for him early in camp. The knock on Mitchell last year was staying healthy, so don't be surprised if the combo of Davis-Price and Wilson get their chances as well. Still, Mitchell is the team's RB1 and should be a solid RB2 option for your team.

The San Francisco 49ers are re-signing RB Jeff Wilson.

Mitchell is out of concussion protocol so the issue now is his knee. But Inman's tweet said his knee issue has taken a "positive turn." Mitchell's concussion and knee injury came on the same play, according to Inman. The Niners play on Thursday night to kick off Week 16. Wilson would be a solid play if needed, if Mitchell can't go on the short week.

Shanahan didn’t rule out Elijah Mitchell for Thursday’s game against the Titans.

The story said Shanahan seemed skeptical about the running back’s prospects last week. Mitchell is now out of the concussion protocol but still is dealing with a knee injury suffered against the Seahawks on Dec. 5. Wilson played on 50 snaps last week with Hasty getting just three. It may be a battle to be ready on the short week for Mitchell, however.
