Checks in for surgery
Mostert will undergo surgery Tuesday to address chipped cartilage in his left knee, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Mostert announced Sept. 14 that he would require a season-ending knee procedure, but he had to wait around a month for doctors to find the correct donor components needed for the operation. Assuming the surgery goes as planned, Mostert is expected to be back to full health ahead of the 2022 season. The 29-year-old running back is set to become a free agent this spring.

Move to IR official
Mostert (knee) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.
Analysis: San Francisco officially removed Mostert from its 53-man roster a few hours after the running back announced he would undergo season-ending surgery to address the cartilage damage in his knee he sustained Sunday. Mostert expects to be back to 100 percent health for the start of the 2022 campaign, but he could be suiting up for a different team, as he'll become a free agent during the upcoming spring. Meanwhile, the 49ers are expected to give Elijah Mitchell the first crack at the No. 1 role out…read more

Getting surgery, season over
Mostert announced Tuesday via his personal Twitter account that he will undergo season-ending knee surgery.
Analysis: Though 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan estimated Monday that Mostert would require an arthroscopic procedure and miss about eight weeks after sustaining chipped cartilage in his knee in the team's season-opening win over the Lions, the running back is instead electing to undergo what's believed to be a full meniscus repair, per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. While the surgery will necessitate a longer recovery timeline, Mostert should have a brighter long-term health outlook than if he had…read more

Expected to miss eight weeks
Mostert (knee) is expected to miss about eight weeks and will go on IR, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Mostert exited Sunday's win over the Lions with a knee injury, which turns out to be chipped cartilage. Rookie sixth-round pick Elijah Mitchell took over for Mostert against Detroit and rushed for over 100 yards, so he'll likely lead San Francisco's backfield in Mostert's absence. JaMycal Hasty and rookie third-round pick Trey Sermon should also see additional opportunities while Mostert recovers.

Will not return to Sunday's game
Mostert (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Lions, Keiana Martin of the 49ers' official site reports.
Analysis: The knee injury Mostert suffered in the first half of Sunday's game will prevent him from seeing any more action in Week 1, so Elijah Mitchell and JaMycal Hasty will split the carries for the remainder of the day. The extent of Mostert's injury is not yet known, but head coach Kyle Shanahan figures to provide some sort of update after the game concludes.

Questionable to return
Mostert (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Lions, according to Matt Barrows of The Athletic.
Analysis: This isn't a promising sign for the 49ers, as they're already quite thin in terms of depth at running back. Elijah Mitchell and JaMycal Hasty are expected to gain a bigger role if Mostert is unable to return to action in the contest, given that Trey Sermon is inactive Sunday.

Excels in start
Mostert rushed seven times for 53 yards in Sunday's 34-10 preseason win over the Raiders.
Analysis: Mostert garnered all of San Francisco's running-back touches on its first offensive drive and was highly efficient with his opportunities. He then saw rookie Trey Sermon incorporated on the second series, and fellow tailbacks JaMycal Hasty and Wayne Gallman shine afterward. Although Sermon should factor prominently in the 49ers' backfield rotation, Mostert seems the most likely candidate to start Week 1 versus the Lions, which would give him good upside as the leader of an often dominant…read more

Not suiting up Sunday
Mostert isn't slated to play in Sunday's preseason game at the Chargers, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Despite coach Kyle Shanahan's assertion that the starters would log at least a quarter of work in preseason Week 2, Mostert won't be available to the 49ers offense Sunday. Mostert will be joined by rookie running backs Trey Sermon and Elijah Mitchell (hip) on the sideline, leaving the backfield to Wayne Gallman, JaMycal Hasty, Kyle Juszczyk and Josh Hokit.

Likely to suit up Sunday
Mostert is in line to play in Sunday's preseason contest at the Chargers, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Coach Kyle Shanahan said after Friday's joint practice with the Chargers that 49ers starters will log "a quarter, a quarter and a half" in their second exhibition. As a result, it appears San Fran is set to have its dress rehearsal for the regular season Sunday. Mostert should get a lot of the backfield reps while the starters are on the field, yielding the occasional touch to Trey Sermon and perhaps even Wayne Gallman.

Not expected to play in opener
Mostert is not expected to play in Saturday's preseason opener against the Chiefs, according to Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle.
Analysis: Mostert's absence does not appear to be injury-related, as he has taken part in practice since training camp began. Injuries limited Mostert to just eight games in 2020, so expect the 49ers to take it easy with him during the preseason so he is good to go for Week 1.

Returns for start of camp
Mostert (knee) fielded some punts at Wednesday's practice, Keiana Martin of 49ers.com reports.
Analysis: The main takeaway is that Mostert returned healthy for the start of training camp after dealing with a minor knee injury during OTAs. He's never returned a punt in a regular-season game and isn't likely to take on such a role at this point in his career, though he was largely valued for his work on special teams prior to a late-2019 breakout. Mostert then made eight starts for the Niners in 2020, but he left two of those games early and missed eight others, held back by knee and ankle sprains.…read more

Tending to minor knee injury
Mostert didn't participate in Wednesday's OTA session due to a knee issue, but he's expected to be fine for training camp, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Mostert put together a strong showing in his eight games for the 49ers last season, but he had trouble staying on the field and finished the campaign on injured reserve due to a high-ankle sprain. Unfortunately, he appears to be starting the offseason on the mend from an injury, but this latest one isn't expected to cost him many meaningful reps. Even if he's back to full strength for Week 1, Mostert may face more competition for reps in 2021 with the 49ers investing draft picks into Trey…read more

Lands on IR
Mostert was placed on injured reserve Tuesday to a left high-ankle sprain, spelling an end to his 2020 season, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Mostert's season was plagued by injuries, as ankle and knee injuries will end up costing him eight games this year. The 28-year-old rushed 104 times for 521 yards and two touchdowns, and he caught 16 of 19 targets for 156 yards and a score. The 49ers will close out the 2020 campaign with a committee of Jeff Wilson (ankle), Tevin Coleman and Jerick McKinnon at running back. Mostert is under contract for the 2021 season at a $3.3 million cap hit.

Season likely over
Mostert (ankle) isn't expected to return in the 2020 season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Mostert missed four games earlier this season with a left ankle injury, and he never fully recovered before suffering a high-ankle sprain to the same ankle in this past Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. With the 49ers eliminated from playoff contention, they're expected to shut Mostert down for the rest of the season. If that's the case, a committee of Jeff Wilson (ankle), Tevin Coleman and Jerick McKinnon will handle the backfield reps for the final two games.

Sustains ankle injury
Mostert left Sunday's game at Dallas due to an ankle injury, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Mostert logged a one-yard carry on the 49ers' first offensive play of the second half, but shortly thereafter he was seen grabbing at his left ankle on the bench, per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com. Deemed questionable to return, Mostert will finish Week 15 with 14 carries for 68 yards if he's unable to do so. In the meantime, Jeff Wilson will carry the load out of San Fran's backfield.

Set to play Sunday
Mostert (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Dallas, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: Mostert underwent an MRI at the beginning of the week and was held out of practice Wednesday. He apparently made good progress in his recovery from the ankle issue, so he's expected to get the Week 15 start, presumably continuing to split backfield work with Jeff Wilson. He'll benefit from an excellent matchup, as the Cowboys have surrendered a league-worst 5.1 yards per carry.

Bumps up to limited
Mostert (ankle) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Mostert emerged from the 49ers' Week 14 loss to Washington with an ankle issue, marking his second such injury of the campaign. Clearly, the current one is far less severe, as he followed up Wednesday's absence with some activity one day later. He has one more opportunity to bump up to full Friday, but even if he doesn't he seems poised to be no less than 'questionable' for Sunday's game in Dallas. Behind Mostert, Jeff Wilson is next in the pecking order at running back, with Tevin Coleman and…read more

Not practicing Wednesday
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Mostert (ankle) won't practice Wednesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Mostert has missed four games this season due to a high-ankle sprain, but he's also served in a timeshare at running back for each of the past three contests, racking up 156 yards from scrimmage and one touchdown on 44 touches during that span. Shanahan told Wagoner on Monday that Mostert emerged from this past Sunday's loss to Washington with an ankle issue that required "further imaging." The results of those tests haven't been revealed, but Mostert isn't exactly kicking off Week 15 prep in…read more

Mostert is slated to have further imaging done on his ankle, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: With that in mind, coach Kyle Shanahan said the 49ers will know more about the running back's status Wednesday. If Mostert is out or limited Sunday against the Cowboys, Jeff Wilson, Tevin Coleman and Jerick McKinnon would be in line for added backfield snaps Week 15.

Totals 70 scrimmage yards
Mostert carried 14 times for 65 yards and caught two of four targets for five yards during Sunday's 23-15 loss to Washington.
Analysis: Mostert averaged a respectable 4.6 yards per carry against a stingy Washington front but finished shy of 15 carries for the second straight week. He finished fourth on the team in targets and made a pair of receptions, though he failed to break either for a notable gain and finished averaging a mere 2.5 yards per catch. Mostert has totaled just 156 scrimmage yards on 44 touches over the last three games and will look to break out of his slump next Sunday against a Cowboys defense that has been…read more

Splits work with Wilson
Mostert rushed nine times for 42 yards and secured his only target for one yard in the 49ers' 34-24 loss to the Bills on Monday night.
Analysis: Playing his second game since returning from injured reserve, Mostert got off to a good start early but ended up splitting carries with Jeff Wilson (seven rush attempts) almost evenly while also becoming a victim of game script. The 49ers were forced to turn to the pass in the second half due to a multi-possession deficit, helping lead to Mostert's second-lowest rushing workload of the campaign. He was still relatively efficient on a per-touch basis and will look to up his overall production in…read more

Scores rushing TD in return
Mostert carried 16 times for 43 yards and a touchdown while catching both his targets for one additional yard during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Rams. He also lost a fumble.
Analysis: Making his first appearance since mid-October, Mostert got his team on the board with an eight-yard rushing touchdown in the first quarter. He averaged just 2.7 yards per carry and hardly made an impact as a receiver, but it was still a respectable performance all things considered. Meanwhile, Jeff Wilson Jr. and Jerick McKinnon combined for 75 yards on 17 touches, though neither player was particularly effective.

Mostert (ankle) is listed as active Sunday against the Rams.
Analysis: Mostert has been sidelined since Oct. 18, when he sustained a high-ankle sprain that forced a stint on IR. With a week of practice under his belt, he's back in the lineup, but it remains to be seen if he'll be the primary ballcarrier right off the bat. Despite playing in just four games this season, he leads the 49ers in rushing with 303 yards and has 150 yards through the air, making him a good candidate to resume his previous role with Tevin Coleman (knee) out.

Mostert (ankle) will be activated from injured reserve before Sunday's game against the Rams, with coach Kyle Shanahan considering the running back questionable to play, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Jeff Wilson (IR - ankle) will get the same treatment, while Tevin Coleman (knee) has been ruled out. Mostert should be the lead back if he ends up playing, but the 49ers also have Jerick McKinnon on hand, and it sounds like Wilson has a shot as well. It could come down to a game-time decision for Mostert and/or Wilson.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday that Mostert (ankle) is considered "day-to-day," Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Analysis: The 49ers designated Mostert for a return from injured reserve Tuesday, and Shanahan's comments would seem to hint that the running back has a shot at returning to the lineup as early as Sunday's game against the Rams. Tevin Coleman (knee) also resumed practicing in a limited fashion Wednesday, so San Francisco's backfield appears set to receive some reinforcement in the near future.

The 49ers designated Mostert (ankle) to return from injured reserve Tuesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: Mostert missed the 49ers' final four games before the team's Week 11 bye with a sprained left ankle, but his return to practice Tuesday could set in motion a return to the lineup Sunday in Los Angeles against the Rams. Before deciding on Mostert's status for Week 12, the 49ers will presumably wait and see how his ankle responds to practice work over the next few days.

Analysis: Shanahan echoed the same thoughts about Tevin Coleman (knee), which would give San Francisco its top two running backs following its Week 11 bye. If that happens, the backfield could be composed of Mostert, Coleman, Jerick McKinnon (neck) and Austin Walter, with Jeff Wilson (ankle) and JaMycal Hasty (collarbone) still on IR.

Mostert carried 11 times for 90 yards and added 29 yards on three receptions (three targets) during Sunday's 43-17 loss to the Dolphins.
Analysis: Mostert gashed the Dolphins defense for 8.2 yards per carry but saw his work on the ground limited by a surprisingly lopsided scoreline. He produced effectively with the targets he received but didn't have many red zone opportunities as C.J. Beathard replaced Jimmy Garoppolo in the second half. Most importantly, Mostert looked strong after recovering from a recent knee injury and will hope for a more favorable game script in next Sunday's matchup with the Rams.

Back in action Sunday
Mostert (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Analysis: Mostert is making his first appearance since Week 2 after being limited in practice Wednesday through Friday. Per Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area, Mostert was wearing a compression tight on his right leg during a pregame warmup, which seemingly will be supporting the knee that endeared a sprain three games ago. Mostert's workload may be limited as a result as he'll have to contend with Jerick McKinnon, Jeff Wilson and perhaps JaMycal Hasty for reps out of the 49ers backfield.

Though his status may not be firmly decided until the 49ers have a chance to evaluate him in a pregame workout, Mostert looks like he'll be ready to suit up Week 5.

A late kickoff (4:05 p.m. ET) isn't ideal for fantasy managers, but follow-up reports could shed more light on Mostert's situation before the first wave of games kick off Sunday.

Set to practice Wednesday
Mostert (knee) is slated to practice on a limited basis Wednesday, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Getting back on the practice field will be a positive step in Mostert's recovery from a sprained MCL suffered Week 2, and he'll have a few more chances this week to elevate to full participation. With Tevin Coleman (knee) still on injured reserve for a few more weeks, Mostert would have less competition for backfield reps if he can gain clearance from San Francisco's medical staff to play Sunday versus the Dolphins. Jerick McKinnon, Jeff Wilson and JaMycal Hasty are the current healthy options…read more

May practice Wednesday
Coach Kyle Shanahan hopes to get Mostert (knee) back at practice Wednesday, Keiana Martin of the 49ers' official site reports.
Analysis: Mostert hasn't practiced since spraining his MCL in Week 2, missing two games in the process. Meanwhile, Tevin Coleman (knee) has been on injured reserve during that same stretch. In their place, Jerick McKinnon has totaled 38 touches for 174 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns, Jeff Wilson has put up a 19-88-2 line, and JaMycal Hasty has managed 3-18-0. It's unclear what kind of workload Mostert can expect when he eventually returns, but a timeshare with McKinnon seems likely.

Officially ruled out again
Mostert (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: With Mostert out another week and Tevin Coleman (knee) on injured reserve, Jerick McKinnon is set to lead the San Francisco backfield again. Jeff Wilson and JaMycal Hasty will provide depth, while Mostert will hope to make it back for Week 5 against the Dolphins.

Absent from practice
Mostert (knee) isn't taking part in Thursday's practice, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Mostert hasn't seen any on-field action since suffering an MCL sprain in the 49ers' Week 2 win over the Jets. Given that the 49ers' practice Friday will be a walk-through session, Mostert looks set to close out the week without taking any meaningful reps. The 49ers will likely wait until Friday to clarify his status for Sunday's game against the Eagles, but Mostert appears poised to miss a second straight contest.

Not ready to practice yet
Mostert (knee) won't participate in Wednesday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: After failing to practice at any point last week while managing the sprained MCL, Mostert wasn't able to take a notable step forward in the 49ers' first session of Week 4. If Mostert isn't able to play Sunday against the Eagles, the 49ers will once again have to deploy a backfield committee consisting of Jerick McKinnon, Jeff Wilson and JaMycal Hasty.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said Mostert (knee) will be looked at Wednesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: The 49ers formally begin Week 4 prep with practice Wednesday, at which point the team is aiming to evaluate Mostert, among many of his injured teammates. The backfield is minus both Mostert and Tevin Coleman (knee, IR) at the moment, which left Jerick McKinnon (17 touches, 77 yards from scrimmage, one TD), Jeff Wilson (15, 69, two) and even JaMycal Hasty (three, 18, zero) to cover for their absences this past Sunday against the Giants.

Mostert (knee) was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Mostert missed the first two days of practice this week after suffering an MCL sprain during last Sunday's win over the Jets, so it was only a matter of time before he was ruled out by the team. Jerick McKinnon and Jeff Wilson are poised to lead the 49ers' backfield for the near future, as Tevin Coleman (knee) also is sidelined.

The 49ers may not even ask Mostert to return to the East Coast before Sunday's game against the Giants, as the running back wasn't expected to be available for the contest anyway after suffering a sprained MCL during the Week 2 win over the Jets.

Not practicing Wednesday
Mostert (knee) won't practice Wednesday, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Meanwhile, fellow running back Tevin Coleman is a candidate for injured reserve, with a potential prognosis of about four weeks on the sideline, per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com. Coach Kyle Shanahan considers Coleman's knee sprain to be "worse" than Mostert's, which backs up the 49ers' assessment that the latter will avoid an extended absence. Assuming both Mostert and Coleman are out Sunday versus the Giants, the team's backfield options may be just Jerick McKinnon and Jeff Wilson this weekend.

Expected to avoid lengthy absence
Mostert (knee) isn't expected to play Sunday against the Giants, but the 49ers are optimistic he'll avoid an extended absence after an MRI confirmed he sustained an MCL sprain in the team's Week 2 win over the Jets, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: One of several San Francisco players who exited early due to injury in the team's 31-13 win at MetLife Stadium, Mostert at least appears fortunate to have avoided a setback with his knee that will cost him extended time. That said, Mostert will likely need at least a week to heal up from his sprained knee, and the 49ers aren't expected to have backup Tevin Coleman (knee) available versus the Giants either.

Unlikely for Week 3
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Mostert (knee) is unlikely to suit up against the Giants on Sunday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Mostert suffered an MCL sprain Week 2 against the Jets in the second quarter, after already having accumulated more than 100 yards from scrimmage and a score. Tevin Coleman (knee) also suffered a knee injury Week 2, leaving Jerick McKinnon in position to tentatively handle the bulk of San Francisco's backfield reps against the Giants. Jeff Wilson likely will spell McKinnon in the event that both Mostert and Coleman are forced to miss time.

Analysis: Mostert departed the game in the second quarter, but not before accumulating 107 yards from scrimmage on 10 touches, the longest an 80-yard TD run to kick off the scoring. Backfield mate Tevin Coleman, who also hurt his knee Sunday, eked out 12 yards on 14 carries, which he supplemented with two receptions (on two targets) for 28 yards.

Analysis: Mostert went to the locker room early in the first half and didn't return after the break. He was excellent before his departure, totaling 107 yards and a touchdown on 10 touches. For the time being, Tevin Coleman and Jerick McKinnon will handle a bulk of the backfield reps while Jeff Wilson also rotates in.

Posts 151 yards, TD vs. Cardinals
Mostert carried 15 times for 56 yards while catching four of five targets for 95 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Cardinals.
Analysis: Mostert struggled to break off many big gains as he finished averaging just 3.7 yards per carry against a respectable Cardinals front. He made a huge impact as a pass catcher, however, as he took a wheel route 76 yards to the end zone to put his team up 10 in the second quarter. Mostert notably out-touched Jerick McKinnon and Tevin Coleman by eight, indicating he should be in for a larger share of the touches this season. He will look to build on an excellent start next Sunday against the Jets.

Analysis: At the start of Tuesday's practice, Mostert wasn't in uniform, with his only subsequent activity a brief stretching session with a 49ers trainer. With no injury to blame, he should be back on the field in the near future and retake the reins of what may be a three-headed backfield with Tevin Coleman and Jerick McKinnon in 2020.

Unhappy with the course of negotiations, the 28-year-old running back requested a trade a couple weeks ago.

Analysis: Coleman has a $4.55 million base salary for the second and final season of his contract, while Mostert is scheduled to make $2.58 million in the second year of a three-year deal. The request for a modest raise seems reasonable, but agent Brett Tessler says discussions with the team have been unproductive.

Aiming for 200 carries in 2020
Mostert indicated Wednesday that he's added muscle to his frame in preparation for a 200-carry workload in 2020, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Mostert held up well to the 190 carries he handled last season (postseason included), racking up 13 touchdowns and 1,108 yards (5.8 YPC). While he still has Tevin Coleman, Jerick McKinnon and Jeff Wilson to contend with, the sixth-year back appears to be preparing for a larger volume of work after finishing the past season with a flourish. He compiled 117 of his 190 rushing attempts (61.6 percent) in the 49ers' eight contests from Week 13 through the Super Bowl.

Analysis: Mostert was already expected to be the lead dog in a starting tandem with Tevin Coleman following a record-setting postseason run, but the departure of Breida clears up the backfield picture even more. Jerick McKinnon (knee) still is in the mix after restructuring his contract to stay in San Francisco, but the serious nature of his injury and utter lack of playing time since joining the team will likely land him in a reserve role.

Scores in Super Bowl loss
Mostert carried the ball 12 times for 58 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 31-20 Super Bowl loss to the Chiefs. He also hauled in his only target for two yards.
Analysis: Though Mostert didn't come close to replicating his 220-yard, four-TD NFC Championship Game performance, he once again operated as the 49ers' top running back end and led the team's backfield while averaging a respectable 4.8 YPC. Given his efficiency, and the fact that San Francisco possessed a 10-point lead with the ball during the fourth quarter, it's fairly surprising that Mostert wasn't leaned on more heavily.

Mostert rushed 29 times for 220 yards and four touchdowns while also catching two passes for six yards in Sunday's 37-20 win over Green Bay in the NFC Championship Game.
Analysis: The 49ers' offensive line opened up gaping holes in the Packers' defensive front, and Mostert hit nearly every one of them for big chunks of yardage en route to a historic stat line. The 27-year-old's 220 rushing yards set a new playoff record for San Francisco and ranks second amongst all playoff rushers in the Super-Bowl era.

Analysis: Mostert tended to a calf cramp near the end of the 49ers' divisional-round victory against the Vikings, requiring an IV in the aftermath. He claimed no concerns about the issue at the time, and his listing on Wednesday's injury report confirms as much. While he may work behind Tevin Coleman (elbow) yet again Sunday versus the Packers, Mostert shouldn't be lacking for touches, as he's averaged 13.7 for 84.3 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring seven touchdowns over the last six contests.

Analysis: Mostert was knocked out late during this past Saturday's divisional-round win against the Vikings. Afterward, he termed his injury as a calf cramp and required an IV as a course of treatment. Assuming Mostert gets through this week unscathed, he seems poised to serve as the change-of-pace option to Tevin Coleman on Sunday against the Packers.

Mostert told Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com after Saturday's win against the Vikings that he exited in the fourth quarter due to a cramp in his calf.
Analysis: According to Mostert, he was treated with an IV and added that he dealt with "some sickness" during the week. Niners injury reports prior to the game didn't mention his name at all, but in any case he expects to be fine moving forward. On Saturday, Mostert took a back seat to Tevin Coleman (22 carries for 105 yards) out of the backfield but still contributed 58 yards on 12 rushes and recovered a muffed punt.

Analysis: Mostert led the 49ers' backfield trio in touches and production for yet another week, finishing with the only usable stat line from the bunch from a fantasy perspective. Formerly known for his pure speed and special teams contributions, the 27-year-old was able to take advantage of playing time opened up by teammate injuries to establish himself as a big-play back.

Gets into end zone Week 16
Mostert rushed 11 times for 53 yards and a touchdown and failed to bring in his only target in the 49ers' 34-31 win over the Rams on Saturday.
Analysis: As expected, Mostert led the rushing attack in production for the fifth-straight week, although he continues to split carries with Tevin Coleman (31 offensive snaps to Coleman's 24). The fifth-year pro did average an efficient 4.8 yards per tote with a long run of 16 yards on a late second-quarter touchdown rush.

Spearheads backfield Week 15
Mostert ran for 54 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries while losing one fumble during Sunday's 29-22 loss to the Falcons. He also caught one of two targets for five receiving yards.
Analysis: Given that San Francisco ranks second behind only Baltimore with 32.6 rush attempts per game, possessing the 49ers' top back on a fantasy roster can be extremely valuable. The challenge this season has come in identifying who coach Kyle Shanahan will deploy as the top option, but in Week 15 Mostert garnered more than 63 percent of the team's RB carries and tallied a rushing score for the second straight outing.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Mostert has given the 49ers "no choice" but to use him as the leader of the team's backfield, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Mostert first emerged in the lead role Week 13 at Baltimore, taking 21 touches for 154 yards and a touchdown while playing 74 percent of offensive snaps. Matt Breida's return from an ankle injury for Week 14 in New Orleans added some competition, but that didn't stop Mostert from getting a team-high 12 touches (for 109 yards and two scores) on 60 percent snap share.

Mostert rushed 10 times for 69 yards and a touchdown, while also chipping in 40 receiving yards and another score on two receptions in Sunday's 48-46 victory over New Orleans.
Analysis: Mostert figured to revert back to a special teams role with both Matt Breida (ankle) and Tevin Coleman starting together again -- as he usually does in this scenario -- but the third-stringer ended up leading the backfield in touches (12), yards (109) and touchdowns (two). Coleman technically started the game, but the veteran finished with just three carries for six yards and is clearly losing playing time in this offense.

Playing time to be determined
Moster will have to contend with Tevin Coleman and the returning Matt Breida (ankle) for playing time on Sunday at New Orleans, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Mostert is on the heels of putting up a season-high 21 touches for 154 yards from scrimmage and one TD against a staunch Ravens defense Week 13. In that same contest, Coleman was contained to just six touches and 10 snaps on offense. With Breida back in action for the first time since Week 10, it'll be interesting to see if Mostert can approach such a workload. In the end, though, it's difficult to trust any of the trio versus the Saints' third-ranked run defense (88.6 yards per game).

Career game in loss
Mostert rushed 19 times for 146 yards and a touchdown while catching both of his targets for eight yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to Baltimore.
Analysis: Mostert took advantage of Matt Breida's (ankle) continued absence, serving as the much more effective half of a backfield platoon with Tevin Coleman and ultimately out-touching Coleman, 21-6. He broke free for a 40-yard touchdown in the second quarter en route to his first career 100-yard rushing performance. Breida could be ready to return against the Saints in Week 14, but Mostert likely will remain involved in the offense after this stellar showing, possibly at Coleman's expense.

Finds end zone in big win
Mostert rushed six times for 45 yards and a touchdown and caught a pass for 22 yards in Sunday's 37-8 win over Green Bay.
Analysis: Mostert got another "co-start" alongside Tevin Coleman with Matt Breida (ankle) held out of action again. The 27-year-old did more with less than Coleman, but the latter figures to remain the 1A if Breida is forced out of action against the Ravens in Week 13. Mostert is averaging 6.3 touches in the two-plus games without Breida, which keeps him in the deep-league range of fantasy value against Baltimore's ninth-ranked rush defense if this starting configuration holds.

Mostert will serve as the 49ers' No. 2 running back Sunday against the Packers with Matt Breida (ankle) sidelined.
Analysis: In the five games in which Mostert has received at least 29 percent of the offensive snaps this season, he's racked up 47 carries for 249 yards (5.3 YPC), six catches for 82 yards and one receiving TD. He'll be working behind Tevin Coleman in this contest, but Mostert has proved he doesn't need many touches to do damage both on the ground and through the air.

Struggles with expanded role
Mostert rushed six times for 13 yards and caught two balls on three targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 36-26 win over Arizona.
Analysis: Matt Breida (ankle) was unable to suit up due to injury, so Mostert moved into the vacant co-starter role alongside Tevin Coleman like he has done on occasion this season. Neither back was able to do much of anything against the Cardinals' front seven, but Mostert had an especially rough go of things when he failed to secure a well-placed rainbow from Jimmy Garoppolo on a wheel route that likely would have broke for a touchdown or a huge gain at the bare minimum.

Analysis: Mostert is bumping up the depth chart temporarily with Matt Breida sidelined at least one game due to a low-ankle sprain. Working behind Tevin Coleman, Mostert will look to produce as he has previously this season, with his 5.5 yards-per-carry average translating well if he gets a healthy dose of runs.

During that span, he's racked up 17 touches for 93 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD.

Analysis: Mostert has been playing through the knee injury for about a month, so it's no real surprise to see him on the injury report again this week. The 27-year-old's ability to practice to start the week puts him on track to once again play through the injury Sunday against the Cardinals.

Gets seven touches
Mostert rushed six times for 28 yards and caught his lone target for seven yards in Monday night's 27-24 overtime loss to the Seahawks.
Analysis: Mostert was forced into a larger role after fellow tailback Matt Brieda was removed from the game due to an ankle injury. Although Mostert's overall production wasn't anything special, he was still efficient with his touches, as he usually is. With a season average of nearly 5.5 yards per rush, Mostert could gain value in Week 11 versus the Cardinals if Brieda's status is impacted by injury, as he'd then profile as San Francisco's top alternative to Tevin Coleman in the backfield.

Suiting up Monday
Mostert (knee) is listed as active Monday versus the Seahawks.
Analysis: Mostert has been dealing with a knee injury for the better part of the last month but still played in each of the 49ers' last three games. His only noticeable impact during that stretch occurred on a 41-yard touchdown run Week 8 as he continues to play a bit role behind Tevin Coleman and Matt Breida. Expect Mostert to be mostly contained to special teams yet again in Week 10.

Earns questionable tag
Mostert (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Seahawks, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The reserve running back could have a chance to suit up against the Seahawks, although it's unlikely he'll have a dramatic impact with both Tevin Coleman and Matt Breida (ankle) healthy heading into the prime-time matchup.

Limited at practice again
Mostert (knee) remained limited Friday at practice, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: Mostert played through the same injury last week, getting just one carry in a 28-25 win over the Cardinals. His status won't have much impact on the 49ers' game plan unless Matt Breida's ankle injury turns out to be more serious than it currently appears to be.

Limited by knee injury
Mostert (knee) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Mostert has played through a knee injury the last three games, but aside from a 41-yard TD run Week 8, he's notched nine rushes for 17 yards (1.9 YPC) and no other scores. Working behind Tevin Coleman and Matt Breida (ankle) doesn't afford Mostert many touches on a weekly basis, especially with a tough Monday night matchup with the Seahawks on tap. First, though, Mostert will look to practice in full Friday and/or Saturday.

Suits up, receives just one carry
Mostert (knee) took his lone carry for a loss of two yards in Thursday's 28-25 win over the Cardinals.
Analysis: Mostert carried a questionable tag due to a knee injury up until game day. The speedy back was able to suit up, but the drop in usage may be related to his health. We will see if his carries increase against the Seahawks next Monday, but it is clear that Mostert is firmly behind the starting duo of Tevin Coleman and Matt Breida.
