Isaac Guerendo Injuries Hamstring At Wednesday’s Practice

4 months ago

San Francisco 49ers running back Isaac Guerendo (hamstring) suffered a hamstring injury at practice Wednesday, significant enough to be visibly upset by it. Guerendo was pick 129 in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL draft by the 49ers, hoping to impact one of the league's best-rushing offenses. The San Francisco 49ers' rushing offense revolves heavily around Christian McCaffrey, who recorded 272 carries in 16 games during the 2023 season, tied for the second-most in the NFL. If McCaffrey were injured, another player would have a significant opportunity to step into the starting running back role. Should Guerendo miss time due to injury, Elijah Mitchell becomes the clear backup and handcuff to McCaffrey, with Jordan Mason likely to regain the third-string role. Guerendo should be off of fantasy radars if injured, but the backup role in San Francisco is one to keep track of all season.
