If anything, by adding rookie receiver\u00a0Ricky Pearsall, San Francisco seemed to have a few too many offensive weapons.<\/p>\n<p>But in what has been an injury-riddled 3-3 start for the 49ers, the team has not had a consistent depth chart at just about any position along the offense.\u00a0Deebo Samuel\u00a0and\u00a0George Kittle\u00a0have both missed time with injuries, and of course, the biggest injury woe of all for the 49ers is that of\u00a0Christian McCaffrey, who is dealing with a mysterious injury to his Achilles tendon.<\/p>\n<p>McCaffrey\u2019s injury is the big concern. Much of the 49ers offense revolves around his versatility.\u00a0Jordan Mason has done a fine job in his place, but Mason, too, is dealing with an injury\u2014he hurt his shoulder in Week 6 against the Seahawks\u2014though he is set to play in Week 7.<\/p>\n<p>The uncertainty around McCaffrey should have the 49ers concerned about their depth at running back if he continues to sit. With that mind, ESPN\u2019s Bill Barnwell has a suggestion: Make a trade to bring back a familiar face.<\/p>\n<h2>49ers RB Room Is Lacking Depth<\/h2>\n<p>Writing this week in a column titled, \u201cThe 12 deals we want to see\u00a0at the NFL trade deadline: DeAndre Hopkins, Bryce Young on the move,\u201d Barnwell suggested that the 49ers bring back a runner who is decidedly familiar with the Kyle Shanahan system:\u00a0Jeff Wilson Jr., the former undrafted signee of the 49ers who spent the first four years of his career in San Francisco before he was traded midseason in his fifth year to the Dolphins.<\/p>\n<p>The 49ers backup core of rookie\u00a0Isaac Guerendo\u00a0and\u00a0Patrick Taylor are good change-of-pace backs, but if Mason gets hurt again with McCaffery still out, things get dodgy, as Barnwell sees it:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRookie\u00a0Isaac Guerendo\u00a0showed off his burst with a 76-yard carry, but his other 21 rush attempts have gone for just 64 yards. He has great raw speed and acceleration, but he\u2019s not experienced or consistent enough as a runner within this offense to thrive with the sort of regularity the 49ers need from their backs.\u00a0\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWilson was used as the top back more often (in his time with the 49ers). He\u2019s fourth on the\u00a0depth chart in Miami. \u2026 Wilson would be useful to have around if all the other backs in front of him get injured, but he\u2019s not going to play much otherwise.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Christian McCaffrey \u2018Doing Incredibly Well\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>Getting Wilson back to the 49ers would not require much\u2014the swap would send Wilson to the 49ers for a sixth-round pick, with the 49ers getting a seventh-rounder in return. He\u2019d be a more reliable option should the 49ers need to be concerned about McCaffrey going forward.<\/p>\n<p>On that front, general manager John Lynch was on KNBR in San Francisco this week and said there is \u201cprogress\u201d with McCaffrey.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_4_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-4 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,25816858\/AdThrive_Content_4\/5ad7479721520f50ab7da88e_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cNo new updates other than he\u2019s doing incredibly well,\u201d Lynch said,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.49erswebzone.com\/articles\/185231-shares-encouraging-christian-mccaffrey-progressing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">via 49ers WebZone<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s all about the ramp up, increasing the activity, making sure that there\u2019s no setbacks. I could just tell people he\u2019s on a good track with that. No timelines or anything, but he\u2019s doing a little bit more\u2014not each day. We kind of stagger it, work hard one day, kind of go into more of a [regeneration] day the next day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut when you can start to stack those and not have setbacks, that\u2019s a good thing, and that\u2019s kind of the direction he\u2019s trending in.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>49ers potential trade target Jeff Wilson Entering the 2024 NFL season, the\u00a049ers\u00a0were not expected to have all that many holes to fill on the offensive side of&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":14905,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14904","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.4 -
