News

  • Should serve as No. 2 back

    Mason is in line to serve as the No. 2 running back for Sunday's Week 14 game against the Seahawks with Elijah Mitchell (knee) ruled inactive for the contest.

    Analysis: Mason has logged just two carries since Week 6, but he'll be in line to handle any complementary work available behind Christian McCaffrey versus Seattle. Mason has been efficient with his limited opportunities in his second season, averaging 5.5 yards per carry on his 23 totes while also recording a pair of rushing touchdowns and adding a 13-yard reception.

  • Active Sunday

    Mason (hamstring) is active Sunday against the Eagles.

    Analysis: The running back was listed as questionable going into the day. Mason is third on the depth chart behind Christian McCaffrey and Elijah Mitchell, and has not carried the ball since Week 6. The second-year pro does have 21 carries for 117 yards and two touchdowns this season.

  • Deemed questionable

    Mason (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Mason has been restricted to special teams of late and isn't likely to get any playing time on offense in a crucial NFC showdown unless Christian McCaffrey or Elijah Mitchell suffers an injury. If Mason doesn't end up playing, it'll merely impact the 49ers' special teams units, where he's taken double-digit snaps every week this year.

  • Bothered by hamstring

    Mason missed Wednesday's practice with a hamstring injury, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Mason hasn't recorded a carry or drawn a target since Week 6 and has played just five snaps on offense over the last five games, but he remains a key member of San Francisco's special teams units, where he's logged double-digit snaps every contest this season. If Mason is unable to overcome his hamstring injury in time for Sunday's game in Philadelphia, Tyrion Davis-Price would step in as the No. 3 back behind Christian McCaffrey and Elijah Mitchell.

  • No offensive snaps Monday

    Mason did not see the field on offense while logging 11 snaps on special teams in Monday's 22-17 loss to the Vikings.

    Analysis: Mason was surprisingly not used on offense even with starter Christian McCaffrey (oblique) playing through a lingering injury suffered in last week's loss to Cleveland. The latter wound up playing 100 percent of San Francisco's offensive snaps Monday, and Elijah Mitchell received the only non-CMC carry for San Francisco's backfield. Mason was coming off a pair of strong performances with a touchdown in each, so Monday's lack of usage killed any momentum the backup was building heading into next…read more

  • Scores TD after McCaffrey's injury

    Mason rushed five times for 27 yards and a touchdown but wasn't targeted in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: Mason took over as San Francisco's lead back after Christian McCaffrey (oblique/rib) exited in the second half. The 24-year-old running back out of Georgia Tech gave the 49ers a 17-13 lead with an eight-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter, but Cleveland responded with a pair of field goals to hand the 49ers their first loss of the season. Elijah Mitchell (knee) returned from a two-game absence but had just minus-3 yards on two carries. If McCaffrey is unable to suit up against the Vikings…read more

  • Rips off TD in garbage time

    Mason rushed 10 times for 69 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-10 win over the Cowboys. He failed to bring in his lone target.

    Analysis: Elijah Mitchell (knee) remained sidelined for the second week in a row, affording Mason the opportunity to continue operating as the team's No. 2 backfield option. The special teams ace wound up playing 13 snaps on offense (18 percent), most of which came in the closing moments of Sunday's lopsided affair. Mason put the final nail in the Cowboys' coffin Sunday when he ripped off a 26-yard run in the fourth quarter for the 49ers' sixth and final touchdown of the contest. The 24-year-old finished…read more

  • Fills in as No. 2 option

    Mason rushed three times for 10 yards and caught his lone target for 13 yards in Sunday's 35-16 win over Arizona.

    Analysis: Mason was elevated to No. 2 on the depth chart after Elijah Mitchell injured his knee during the practice week. The former wound up playing eight snaps on offense (15 percent) in addition to his usual role on special teams. Christian McCaffrey ran for over 100 yards and scored four of the 49ers' five touchdowns Sunday, leaving little work for Mason despite his elevated role Week 4. The severity of Mitchell's knee injury is currently unknown, but Mason will fill in as the primary backup until…read more

  • Set for No. 2 role Sunday

    Mason is in line to serve as the 49ers' No. 2 running back Sunday against the Cardinals with Elijah Mitchell (knee) listed as questionable but not expected to be active for the contest, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The 49ers are also expected to have Tyrion Davis-Price suit up for the first time this season after he was a healthy inactive for the first three games, but he'll likely be ticketed for the No. 3 role while Mason operates as the top backup to lead back Christian McCaffrey. Though McCaffrey should be poised to dominate the snaps and touches while the game is competitive, the 49ers are pegged as two-touchdown favorites by most sportsbooks, meaning that Mason could be in store for plenty of…read more

  • Removed from injury report

    Mason (foot) was removed from the injury report Friday and will play in Sunday's opener against the Steelers, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Mason was limited earlier in the week but has been cleared to play. He's expected to open the season as the Niners' third running back, behind Christian McCaffrey and Elijah Mitchell. Mason has minimal fantasy value in season-long leagues.

  • Remains limited Thursday

    Mason (foot) was a limited participant at the 49ers' practice Thursday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Mason is dealing with a sprained foot he suffered in the team's preseason finale Aug. 25 and he has now logged back-to-back limited practices. The running back will look to increase his participation Friday in order to play Sunday in San Francisco's regular season opener against the Steelers on the road.

  • Limited Wednesday

    Mason (foot) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Mason emerged from the 49ers' preseason finale with a sprained foot, but his return to drills Wednesday indicates that he's making progress in his recovery effort. The 49ers backfield is paced by the do-it-all Christian McCaffrey, whose direct backup, Elijah Mitchell, will also get touches on game days as long as he's healthy. As a result, if Mason isn't ready for Sunday's game in Pittsburgh, Tyrion Davis-Price may be the team's third active running back in that contest.

  • Misses practice

    Mason (foot) was sidelined for Thursday's practice, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: Mason is considered day-to-day with a sprained foot. When healthy, he is currently slated to back up Christian McCaffrey and Elijah Mitchell in the 49ers' backfield, while Tyrion Davis-Price should be in the mix as well. His status ahead of Week 1 should become more clear next week when San Francisco releases its initial injury report.

  • Has foot sprain

    Coach Kyle Shanahan said Saturday that Mason has a sprained foot but is considered day-to-day, Josh Dubow of The Associated Press reports.

    Analysis: The 49ers backfield has had its share of injuries during training camp and the preseason, with Elijah Mitchell missing significant time with an adductor strain and Jeremy McNichols dealing with a hamstring issue. Now, one of the competitors for the No. 3 spot behind Christian McCaffrey and Mitchell is tending to a health concern. San Francisco likely will keep four running backs on its final 53-man roster following cut-down day Tuesday, while Mason could be sidelined in the short term with the…read more

  • Loses fumble in loss

    Mason took nine carries for 59 yards and recorded one catch for 13 yards in Friday's 23-12 preseason loss to the Chargers, but he lost a fumble at the goal line on the opening drive.

    Analysis: With Christian McCaffrey and Elijah Mitchell held out, Mason dominated first-team snaps on a night that saw Brock Purdy, Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk and George Kittle all playing. They faced the Chargers' second-team defense and would've scored 14 points in two drives if not for Mason losing a fumble at the goal line. Tyrion Davis-Price then dominated backfield work with the second-stringers en route to 12 touches for 76 yards, perhaps giving the Niners a tougher decision between him and Mason…read more

  • Struggles in preseason opener

    Mason rushed five times for 17 yards and failed to bring in his only target in Sunday's 34-7 preseason loss against the Raiders.

    Analysis: Mason struggled to find running lanes mainly due to poor offensive line play, as none of the three San Francisco backs active Sunday sniffed a 4.0 YPC average. It is worth noting that the undrafted standout from last season didn't get a carry until the 49ers' fifth drive, with Tyrion Davis-Price (9-29-0) starting ahead of him sans Christian McCaffrey (rest) and Elijah Mitchell (hip). With neither back performing well, Mason's spot on the roster is likely still secure. Perhaps the lineup swap…read more

  • Lining up to be No. 3 back

    Mason has been operating as the 49ers' third running back during offseason activities, Jerry McDonald of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Analysis: Mason's standing on the depth chart shouldn't come as a surprise following his strong showing on special teams and as a reserve option out of the backfield in 2022. The then-undrafted rookie quickly surpassed third-round pick Tyrion Davis-Price on the depth chart, and he appears set to maintain that position as the two battle for spots behind starter Christian McCaffrey and top backup Elijah Mitchell.

  • Solid rookie showing

    Mason finished the 2022 season with 43 carries for 258 yards and a touchdown across 16 regular-season games with San Francisco.

    Analysis: Mason was a surprise addition to the active roster out of training camp, and he parlayed that opportunity into a special-teams role to begin the year. The undrafted rookie eventually was called upon to replace injured backups, and he averaged 6.0 yards per carry in his limited action on offense. Mason is signed through the 2024 season, so he figures to operate as the 49ers' third back to open camp behind Christian McCaffrey and Elijah Mitchell (groin).

  • Sticks in backfield rotation

    Mason rushed eight times for 28 yards and wasn't targeted as a receiver in Sunday's 38-13 win over Arizona.

    Analysis: The 49ers welcomed back Elijah Mitchell (knee) from injured reserve, but Mason still received 14 snaps on offense in the regular-season finale. The Georgia Tech product did an admirable job backing up Christian McCaffrey in Mitchell's absence this season, racking up 258 yards on 6.0 yards per carry in limited action over the course of his rookie campaign. Mason will likely see his role limited to special-teams duty in the wild-card round matchup with Seattle this weekend with San Francisco's…read more

  • Reclaims No. 2 role and scores

    Mason (hamstring) rushed two times for 13 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-34 win over Las Vegas.

    Analysis: Mason -- who was limited to special teams due to a hamstring injury last week -- resumed his change-of-pace role behind starter Christian McCaffrey, cashing in one of his two carries for the first touchdown of his career. The undrafted rookie saw significantly fewer touches than he had previously as San Francisco's No. 2 back, but that was likely the result of head coach Kyle Shanahan leaning on McCaffrey in a tight contest. Assuming his hamstring injury is fully healed, Mason could be in line…read more

  • Cleared from injury report

    Mason (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: Mason suited up with the hamstring injury last week against Washington but only played special teams while Tyrion Davis-Price operated as the No. 2 running back behind Christian McCaffrey. With Mason now off the injury report, a return to the No. 2 role is possible.

  • Stays limited Thursday

    Mason (hamstring) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Mason only managed 17 snaps on special teams this past Saturday versus the Commanders after his hamstring tightened up on him last Wednesday. With back-to-back capped sessions behind him this week, he doesn't appear to be in the clear on the health front just yet, but Friday's injury report could be the bearer of good news for undrafted rookie. If Mason is able to retake the No. 2 RB role behind Christian McCaffrey (knee) on Sunday in Las Vegas, the former would push fellow first-year player…read more

  • Officially limited Wednesday

    Mason (hamstring) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: After his hamstring tightened up on him last Wednesday, Mason was limited last Thursday before going down as questionable ahead of Saturday's game against the Commanders. He ended up suiting up for the Week 16 game, but he also was contained to 17 snaps on special teams, as Tyrion Davis-Price handled the running-back reps that didn't go to Christian McCaffrey. There's a chance Mason takes over the No. 2 role out of the 49ers backfield Sunday at Las Vegas, but he may have to get back to a full…read more

  • Likely to regain No. 2 RB role

    San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Mason is "doing great" in his recovery from a tight hamstring, per David Lombardi of The Athletic.

    Analysis: Mason played in last Saturday's win over Washington but was limited to special teams. Tyrion Davis-Price took over the backup RB role behind Christian McCaffrey in that contest, but Mason is expected to again work behind McCaffrey in Week 17 now that he is showing improvement. Mason had been very effective in his previous three games prior to Saturday, tallying 171 rushing yards on 23 carries.

  • Limited to special teams Saturday

    Mason (hamstring) was active in Saturday's 37-20 win over the Commanders, but he did not receive a carry and logged snaps only on special teams.

    Analysis: Mason's hamstring tightened up during practice this week, but he was ultimately cleared before kickoff. Fellow rookie Tyrion Davis-Price -- who was a healthy scratch for the last two weeks -- took over the backup duties behind Christian McCaffrey and finished with 30 yards on nine carries. Perhaps the decision to limit Mason to special teams was a direct result of him missing practice this week due to injury.

    Mason (hamstring) is listed as active Saturday against the Commanders, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Mason's hamstring tightened up at Wednesday's practice, which resulted in his early departure from that session and limited on-field work Thursday. He subsequently went down as questionable for Week 16 action, but he again will be available to the 49ers offense as Christian McCaffrey's direct backup. Mason has experienced a regular role over the last five games, racking up 32 carries for 210 yards (6.6 YPC).

    Mason (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Saturday's contest versus the Commanders, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: A late-week addition to the 49ers' injury report, Mason relayed to David Lombardi of The Athletic on Thursday that his hamstring tightened up at Wednesday's practice, which resulted in him being removed from that session and ultimately going down as a limited participant to end Week 16 prep. If Mason isn't 100 percent or out Saturday, Tyrion Davis-Price and/or practice squad member Tevin Coleman would be the main candidates to get work behind the 49ers' No. 1 running back Christian McCaffrey.

    Mason rushed four times for 64 yards in Thursday's 21-13 win over the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Mason ripped off a 55-yard run on the 49ers' final drive, stopped one yard short of his first career touchdown. The undrafted rookie actually saw his playing time decrease against Seattle (seven offensive snaps), but he still produced at least 50 rushing yards for the third consecutive week. It is tough to recommend the Georgia Tech product in fantasy when Christian McCaffrey is healthy, but if the latter were to be rested with the NFC West title in hand, then Mason would immediately become a…read more

    Mason rushed 11 times for 56 yards and was not targeted in Sunday's 35-7 win over the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Mason followed up last week's career high in rushing with another new high-water mark in yards. The undrafted rookie absorbed nearly all of Elijah Mitchell's (knee) carries over the last two weeks, providing some low-end fantasy value for those in deeper formats. Mason still is the clear No. 2 behind workhorse Christian McCaffrey, who went for 153 combined yards and two touchdowns Sunday.

    Mason rushed eight times for 51 yards in Sunday's 33-17 win over the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Mason took on a larger offensive role sans Elijah Mitchell (knee) as expected, setting new career marks in carries and rushing yards. The Georgia Tech product looked sharp in limited action, putting his downhill running style on display. Christian McCaffrey still dominated the workload, producing 146 yards and a touchdown on 25 combined touches. CMC has a poor injury history and entered Sunday's contest with a balky knee, so Mason is worth stashing for fantasy managers with the luxury to do so.…read more

    Analysis: Mason was used on the final drive of the game with the 49ers up multiple scores for the second week in a row. Unlike last week's garbage time appearance against the Cardinals, the undrafted rookie was actually needed after No. 2 back Elijah Mitchell (knee) went down late in this contest. Starter Christian McCaffrey was dealing with knee soreness as well, but the former's is expected to be more serious.

  • Gets four carries in garbage time

    Mason rushed four times for 14 yards in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Mason was able to get some offensive run in garbage time after serving almost exclusively on special teams this season. The carries and yardage both represented new highs for the undrafted rookie. Mason isn't likely to see his role change when the 49ers take on the Saints on Sunday.

  • Serves in special-teams role

    Mason logged 19 snaps on special teams and was not used on offense in Sunday's 22-16 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: Mason returned to action after being deployed as a healthy scratch last game, effectively swapping spots on the depth chart with Tyrion Davis-Price (healthy scratch). The 49ers welcomed back Elijah Mitchell (knee) back this week, so the rookie wasn't asked to do more than serve on special teams. Mason carries no fantasy value heading into a Week 11 tilt against the Cardinals next Monday.

  • Healthy scratch

    Mason (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Mason will sit for the first time this season after the team's acquisition of Christian McCaffrey. The undrafted rookie will likely need an injury to find himself on the active roster moving forward.

  • Usurped by veteran backup

    Mason logged 15 snaps on special teams and did not receive a touch in Sunday's 37-15 win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: The 49ers signed an old friend, Tevin Coleman, to back up Jeff Wilson for the past two weeks, effectively pushing Mason further down the depth chart. It is still unclear what the team's plan for the undrafted rookie is, as they promoted him to the active roster over players with higher pedigree and more experience, only to give him one carry through five active games. Even with San Francisco's backfield decimated by injury, Mason remains a non-factor in his current role on special teams.

Meanwhile, starter Jeff Wilson handled almost all of the team's work out of the backfield with 33 offensive snaps, ceding one carry to fellow veteran Tevin Coleman.

    Analysis: Mason has served as the primary backup to starter Jeff Wilson (12 carries for 75 yards) with rookie Tyrion Davis-Price (ankle) set to miss several weeks of action. The undrafted rookie only saw five snaps on offense (nine percent) compared to Wilson's 41 snaps, which shows the lack of trust head coach Kyle Shanahan has in Mason as an offensive option. Veteran Marlon Mack -- who was promoted from the practice squad prior to Sunday's contest -- only saw three snaps on special teams. Mason…read more

  • Injury opens up No. 2 job

    Mason will take over the No. 2 spot on the 49ers' running back depth chart following the news that Tyrion Davis-Price (ankle) will miss several weeks, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: Davis-Price -- who appeared to beat the undrafted Mason for the No. 2 job in practice last week -- suffered the injury late in Sunday's 27-7 win over Seattle. Mason served as the third active back and did not receive a touch (eight snaps on special teams), so it's hard to get excited about the undrafted rookie's new elevated role. Chan also added that practice squad veteran Marlon Mack is a candidate to be elevated to the active roster, so he could leapfrog the less-experienced Mason. However…read more

  • Will compete for No. 2 job

    Mason will compete with Tyrion Davis-Price during team practices this week to see who will serve as Jeff Wilson's backup following the announcement that Elijah Mitchell (knee) will miss a minimum of eight weeks, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Barrows added that the two rookies already had been competing in camp, and that's why Davis-Price was a healthy scratch and Mason served as the third active back Week 1. With the veteran Wilson announced as the starter, he becomes the priority add for those in need of running back help. Traditionally, head coach Kyle Shanahan prefers to use a two-back approach to his run-heavy schemes, so whoever wins this marginally important job battle could generate some fantasy value over the course of the…read more

  • Five snaps Sunday

    Mason played five snaps on special teams and did not receive a touch in Sunday's 19-10 loss to the Bears.

    Analysis: Mason -- an undrafted rookie -- leapfrogged 2022 third-round pick, Tyrion Davis-Price (healthy scratch), on the depth chart seemingly moments prior to kickoff, earning the first active game of his NFL career. Despite his unheralded rise up the running back pecking order in San Francisco, head coach Kyle Shanahan failed to trust the rookie on the field, despite starter Elijah Mitchell (knee) going down early and playing just 17 snaps. Veteran back Jeff Wilson (nine carries for 22 yards) got the…read more

  • Makes 53-man roster

    Mason was included on the 49ers' initial 53-man roster Tuesday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: Barring any changes to the roster heading into the Sept. 11 season opener at Chicago, Mason will be one of five running backs for the 49ers. The undrafted rookie out of Georgia Tech earned his spot by leading the 49ers in rushing this preseason, averaging 4.9 yards per carry while totaling 94 yards on the ground. He won't get much run early in the season due to the depth San Francisco carries at the position. That said, Elijah Mitchell (knee) -- who is expected to be ready by Week 1 -- comes…read more
