In addition to McCaffrey, running back\u00a0Elijah Mitchell\u00a0is on IR, and wideout\u00a0Deebo Samuel, who is often utilized in the run game, will \u201cprobably miss a couple of weeks,\u201d\u00a0according to 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan.<\/p>\n<p>While\u00a0Jordan Mason\u00a0has been tearing it up in McCaffrey\u2019s absence, if Mason were to fall, the depth behind him is scarce.\u00a0Matt Barrows of The Athletic called the Miami Dolphins\u00a0a \u201cnatural trade partner\u201d for the Niners on September 14 before doubling down on the idea in a later column.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The two trade swaps Barrows proposed?\u00a0Sending 49ers\u2019 third-string QB\u00a0Joshua Dobbs\u00a0to Miami in exchange for Dolphins running back\u00a0Raheem Mostert,\u00a0He also pitched a swap of 49ers second-string QB\u00a0Brandon Allen\u00a0for Dolphins RB\u00a0Jeff Wilson Jr.<\/p>\n<h2>Barrows Explains Why a 49ers &amp; Dolphins Trade Swap Makes Sense for Both Teams<\/h2>\n<p>The Dolphins have been dealing with significant injuries of their own. Miami recently placed starting quarterback\u00a0Tua Tagovailoa\u00a0on injured reserve. The Dolphins are is currently relying on inexperienced backup\u00a0Skylar Thompson\u00a0to fill Tua\u2019s shoes until he returns.<\/p>\n<p>Considering the obvious connection between former 49ers assistant and current Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel \u2014 who served as an assistant in varying capacities for Shanahan from 2017 through 2021 \u2014 a swap between these two squads seems like a no-brainer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI made this point on X last week, but the 49ers need a reliable running back, and the Miami\u00a0Dolphins\u00a0seem to need a quarterback,\u201d\u00a0Barrows wrote on September 17.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Dolphins have an abundance of runners who are in the same offense as San Francisco\u2019s, and the 49ers have two backup quarterbacks who are about equal in the eyes of Shanahan and who could quickly slide into Mike McDaniel\u2019s attack.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Both Jeff Wilson &amp; Raheem Mostert Know 49ers Offense Well<\/h2>\n<p>Mason has been showcasing his skills while replacing McCaffrey. Through two games, the 49ers RB is currently\u00a0ranked second in the NFL in rushing\u00a0(247 yards). He\u2019s averaging 5.1 yards per carry and has 2 rushing scores. With\u00a0Patrick Taylor\u00a0and\u00a0Isaac Guerendo\u00a0currently behind Mason\u00a0on the depth chart, it wouldn\u2019t hurt to add another player to compete.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you lose real good players, it\u2019s always tough,\u201d Shanahan noted. \u201cBut it happens all over the league and it\u2019s a huge part of this league and a huge part of this game. We\u2019ve got to deal with it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Both Wilson and Mostert are familiar faces among the 49ers Faithful. Wilson spent the first four years of his career in San Francisco before getting traded to Miami in 2022. He has been missing time while dealing with an oblique injury, however, so Mostert may be a better option.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Niners fans likely remember Mostert best for his postseason heroics with the team. He ran for 220 yards and scored 4 TDs in the team\u2019s 2019 NFC Championship victory over the\u00a0Green Bay Packers.<\/p>\n<p>Mostert has been with the Dolphins since 2022 and is coming off a career year. He\u00a0led the NFL in rushing scores\u00a0last season (18) and finished with the first 1,000-yard season of his career. Mostert has been dealing with a chest injury, but it\u00a0isn\u2019t believed to be significant enough\u00a0to keep him out of more than a game or two.<\/p>\n<p>With both the 49ers and Dolphins dealing with significant injuries, a QB-for-RB trade swap makes too much sense. We\u2019ll see if something materializes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Raheem Mostert of the Miami Dolphins.
