Inactive Sunday
James (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports.
Analysis: The rookie fifth-rounder was inactive with a finger injury in Week 1. Since then, he's been a healthy scratch. James can't seem to crack a depth chart led by Christian McCaffrey, Brian Robinson and Isaac Guerendo.

Won't play Week 12
James (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's game against the Panthers, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports.
Analysis: The rookie fifth-rounder has yet to make his NFL regular-season debut, with all of his missed games coming as a healthy scratch. James' next opportunity to make his debut is Sunday against Cleveland, though he's unlikely to play in that game unless Christian McCaffrey, Brian Robinson or Isaac Guerendo were to miss time.

Healthy scratch again
James (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday night's game against the Rams, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports.
Analysis: Thursday marks the fourth consecutive game that James has been a healthy scratch after missing Week 1 due to a finger injury. The 49ers will once again roll with a three-man backfield of Christian McCaffrey, Brian Robinson and Isaac Guerendo for Thursday's NFC West bout. James' next chance to make his NFL regular-season debut is Week 6 against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Oct. 12, though he's unlikely to play in that game unless McCaffrey, Robinson or Guerendo were to miss time.

Healthy scratch verus Jacksonville
James (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports.
Analysis: James will be a healthy scratch for the third week in a row. With the rookie fifth-rounder inactive, Brian Robinson and Isaac Guerendo will serve as the backup running backs behind starter Christian McCaffrey. James also missed Week 1 with a finger injury, so his next opportunity to make his NFL regular-season debut will come Week 5 versus the Rams on Thursday, Oct. 2.

Won't play against Arizona
James (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports.
Analysis: James missed the first game of the regular season due to a finger injury, and while he has fully recovered, he will be a healthy scratch for a second straight game. With the rookie fifth-rounder in street clothes, Brian Robinson and Isaac Guerendo will operate as the 49ers' depth running backs behind Christian McCaffrey. James' next chance to make his NFL regular-season debut is Week 4 against the Jaguars on Sunday, Sept. 28.

Healthy scratch vs. NOLA
James (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Saints, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports.
Analysis: The rookie fifth-rounder broke his finger in early August and was not cleared to play against the Seahawks in Week 1. James was able to fade an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game after logging a full practice Friday, but he'll observe the contest in street clothes while the 49ers roll with a three-man backfield of Brian Robinson, Isaac Guerendo and starter Christian McCaffrey. James' next chance to make his NFL regular-season debut is Week 3 against the Cardinals on Sunday, Sept. 21.

Good to go for Week 2
James (finger) doesn't have an injury designation heading into Sunday's Week 2 contest against the Saints, Noah Furtado of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Analysis: James suffered a broken finger in early August and didn't suit up Week 1 against Seattle. However, the rookie running back logged an LP/LP/FP progression in practice this week and wasn't given an injury designation heading into the weekend. Though that means James could make his NFL debut Sunday, he may see limited or no work on offense as SF's No. 4 running back behind Christian McCaffrey, Brian Robinson and Isaac Guerendo.

Tracking to play Week 2
James (finger) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The rookie fifth-rounder was not cleared to play against Seattle in Week 1 due to a broken finger that he suffered in early August. He has opened the week with back-to-back limited practices, but 49ers' general manager John Lynch relayed Thursday that James will be "ready to go" against the Saints on Sunday, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports. If he is cleared to make his NFL regular-season debut, James would likely struggle to see backfield snaps as the 49ers' RB4 behind Christian…read more

Limited at practice
James (finger) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: James was once again limited at practice to open the week as he continues to recover from a broken finger that he suffered in early August. The 21-year-old will have two more opportunities to log a full practice before Sunday's contest against the Saints.

Not playing vs. Seattle
James (finger) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
Analysis: James broke his finger in early August, which limited his practice participation this past week. He won't play in Sunday's regular-season opener, but the good news for the 49ers is that Christian McCaffrey (calf) has been cleared to play, with Brian Robinson and Isaac Guerendo serving in rotation. James' next chance to make his 2025 regular-season debut is Week 2 against the Saints on Sunday, Sept. 14 in New Orleans.

Doubtful for Week 1
James (finger) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's contest in Seattle, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: The broken finger that James suffered in early August thus is poised to delay the rookie fifth-round pick's pro debut. Whenever he's healthy, though, there will be a chance for him to mix into the 49ers backfield if Christian McCaffrey's recent calf injury lingers or even develops into Achilles tendinitis as it did a season ago. At the moment, Brian Robinson and Isaac Guerendo are the healthy running backs on San Francisco's active roster.

Limited in Thursday's practice
James (finger) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: James broke his finger in early August and has been a limited participant in each of the first two practices of the week. The rookie fifth-rounder figures to see minimal work out of the backfield this season. However, with Christian McCaffrey popping up on Thursday's injury report due to a calf injury, James could be thrust into the RB3 role behind Brian Robinson and Isaac Guerendo (shoulder) if McCaffrey is unable to play in Sunday's regular-season opener against the Seahawks.

Gets in limited practice
James (finger) was limited at Wednesday's practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: After missing some time early in training camp due to a knee injury, James suffered a broken finger in early August that required surgery and kept him off the practice field until last Wednesday. He continues to operate with a cap on his reps as the 49ers begin to ramp up for Week 1, and with the 49ers' top three RBs Christian McCaffrey, Brian Robinson and Isaac Guerendo (shoulder) good to go for Sunday's contest in Seattle, there's a decent chance that James is inactive this weekend if the…read more

Back on practice field
James (finger) returned to practice Wednesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: James missed some time early in training camp due to a knee injury and then broke a finger not long afterward that required surgery, resulting in him missing the 49ers' entire preseason slate. Despite the time away from the field, the rookie fifth-round pick survived roster cuts and resides in a backfield led by Christian McCaffrey and followed by newcomer Brian Robinson and second-year pro Isaac Guerendo. As a result, James may be a regular inactive on game days, even when he's healthy enough…read more

Breaks finger, out a few weeks
San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said Thursday that James will miss a couple weeks due to a broken finger, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: James will require surgery to address his finger injury, ruling him out for Saturday's preseason opener against the Broncos and potentially also the 49ers' second preseason matchup, which will occur Aug. 16 versus the Raiders. With Isaac Guerendo (shoulder) also expected to miss a couple weeks, all of Patrick Taylor, Ameer Abdullah and Corey Kiner will benefit from increased reps behind star running back Christian McCaffrey.

Returns to practice
James (knee) returned to practice Monday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: James was back after missing just a few days, while fellow backup running back Isaac Guerendo is out again due to an apparent shoulder injury he suffered Saturday. With Christian McCaffrey resting, James may even get a chunk of the first-team reps Monday as the 49ers prepare for Saturday's preseason opener against Denver.

Misses practice with knee injury
San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said Thursday that James is not practicing due to "knee issues," Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Analysis: James has reportedly enjoyed a strong start to training camp, with Vic Tafur and Matt Barrows of The Athletic reporting that the rookie fifth-round pick has impressed both Shanahan and offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak. Health provided, James appears in solid position to secure the No. 3 backfield role behind All-Pro starter Christian McCaffrey and backup Isaac Guerendo, but the severity of his current knee issue remains undisclosed. Per Noah Furtado of the San Francisco Chronicle, Shanahan…read more

Draws early praise in camp
James made a strong first impression on the 49ers' coaching staff during team practices in training camp, according to Matt Barrows of The Athletic.
Analysis: James was taken in the fifth round of the 2025 Draft in an effort to bolster San Francisco's backfield depth after veteran backups Elijah Mitchell and Jordan Mason departed this offseason. The 21-year-old James stood out in padded practices, drawing praise from head coach Kyle Shanahan for his ability to "hit the holes hard" and from offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak for his ability to pick up blitzes. Starter Christian McCaffrey and backup Isaac Guerendo will sit atop the RB depth chart to…read more
