The San Francisco 49ers' running back situation is a jumbled mess. Raheem Mostert is out for the season, Jeff Wilson Jr. is out until November-ish, JaMycal Hasty injured his ankle against the Philadelphia Eagles and will miss at least a week, rookie Elijah Mitchell is "very questionable" to play this Sunday according to general manager John Lynch, and fellow rookie Trey Sermon sustained a scary-looking concussion on his first-ever carry last weekend.
But out of that crew, Sermon actually sounds like he's by far the closest to suiting up against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football — and if he does, he'll likely be in line for the lion's share of carries out of the Niners backfield.
