49ers GM, John Lynch, indicated he expects Wilson to make his return this season. “It’s not in the next couple weeks, but kind of beyond that. He’s doing really well,” Lynch said.

San Francisco is desperate for some backfield production as Elijah Mitchell and Trey Sermon have been unimpressive of late. When Jeff Wilson does return he has a legitimate opportunity to lead the backfield.

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.

#49ers RB Jeff Wilson recently underwent surgery to repair a torn meniscus, sources say. Wilson is expected to miss four to six months, which means he’ll be sidelined through the start of the regular season.

It appears Jeff Wilson will be sidelined at least four to six months after surgery to repair a torn meniscus. Raheem Mostert and rookie Trey Sermon will most likely split the backfield work to start the season, with fellow rookie Elijah Michell someone to watch during training camp.

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.
