Returns to inactive list

Wilson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Texans.

Analysis: After he was inactive for a stretch of seven straight games from Weeks 5 through 12, Wilson had suited up for both of Miami's last two contests. He played just five snaps on offense between those two games, carrying one time for four yards and gaining seven yards on his lone reception. With Raheem Mostert (hip) back in action this Sunday after a one-game absence, Wilson will return to the inactive list while the Dolphins opt to have only three running backs dress for the Week 15 game.

Healthy scratch for Week 11

Wilson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Las Vegas.

Analysis: The Dolphins will go with a three-man backfield of De'Von Achane, Raheem Mostert and Jaylen Wright for Sunday's contest. Wilson hasn't played since Week 4 against the Titans, and he will likely be a healthy scratch moving forward unless any of the other three running backs on the active roster are sidelined.

Inactive for Week 8

Wilson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Analysis: Wilson will be a healthy scratch for a third straight game as the Dolphins go with a three-man backfield comprising De'Von Achane, Raheem Mostert and Jaylen Wright. Wilson last appeared in Week 4 against the Titans, but he played just two offensive snaps in that game and didn't record a stat.

Inactive Sunday

Wilson (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Colts.

Analysis: With De'Von Achane, Raheem Mostert and Jaylen Wright all available Sunday, Wilson remains the odd man out in Miami's backfield after also having been a healthy scratch in Week 5.

Sitting out in Week 5

Wilson (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Sunday in New England.

Analysis: With Raheem Mostert (chest) available for the first time since Week 1, Wilson will don street clothes while De'Von Achane, Mostert and rookie fourth-rounder Jaylen Wright man the Dolphins backfield Week 5. Miami has a Week 6 bye, so it remains to be seen if this will be Wilson's reality moving forward.

Turns in full practice

Wilson (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Analysis: Wilson was limited to just two total snaps in Monday's 31-12 loss to the Titans after hurting his knee in pregame warmups, but his ability to put in a limited practice Wednesday followed by a full session Thursday clears up any concern about his availability heading into Sunday's game at New England. De'Von Achane remains the top option in the Miami backfield, and Wilson could soon see his modest backup role disappear if Raheem Mostert (chest) is able to put an end to his three-game absence…read more

Limited in practice

Wilson (knee) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Analysis: Wilson took two snaps on offense and none on special teams after injuring his knee during pregame warmups prior to Monday's eventual loss to the Titans. His ability to play at all and then take part in a walk-through practice a few days later suggests his injury is a minor one, but his chances for Week 5 involvement at New England also depend on Raheem Mostert's recovery from a chest injury. Mostert missed the past three games and also was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice…read more

Questionable Monday with knee injury

Wilson suffered a knee injury during pregame warmups and now is questionable to play Monday against the Titans.

Analysis: With Raheem Mostert (chest) sidelined for a third consecutive contest, Wilson and Jaylen Wright were the candidates to handle RB reps behind starter De'Von Achane. Having said that, Wilson now may not get a chance to contribute Week 4. Still, he's been contained to 10 touches for 52 yards from scrimmage in three games this season, meaning he doesn't hold much sway for fantasy purposes.

Quiet in loss to Seattle

Wilson rushed three times for 14 yards during Miami's 24-3 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

Analysis: Wilson handled a similar volume to Jaylen Wright (two carries for 17 yards) behind De'Von Achane with Raheem Mostert (chest) being sidelined again, but the game script didn't favor Miami's running game. The Dolphins' offense struggled mightily with Skylar Thompson (ribs) and Tim Boyle under center versus an aggressive Seattle defense. Wilson and the Dolphins' offense will look to improve in Week 4 against the Titans on Monday Night Football.

Cleared to face Seattle

Wilson (oblique) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Seahawks and is expected to play.

Analysis: With Raheem Mostert (chest) listed as doubtful, Wilson again should assume RB2 duties behind workhorse De'Von Achane. In the Week 2 loss to the Bills, Wilson played just 11 snaps to Achane's 47, finishing with two catches for 12 yards and zero rushing attempts. Rookie Jaylen Wright played 18 snaps mostly in garbage time, and he's likely to serve as Miami's RB3 on Sunday.

Logs full practice Thursday

Wilson (oblique) practiced fully Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Analysis: Wilson was ruled out late in last Thursday's loss to the Bills with an oblique injury, but after a limited session to begin Week 3 prep Wednesday, he was able to handle every rep one day later. Fellow running back Raheem Mostert's (chest) reps again were capped Thursday, though, so there remains a question mark in the Dolphins backfield behind No. 1 option De'Von Achane. If Mostert is inhibited or even out Sunday at Seattle, Wilson would be the top candidate to fill in behind Achane.

Limited practice Wednesday

Wilson (oblique) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

Analysis: Along with Wilson, fellow running back Raheem Mostert (chest) was also a limited participant after missing the Dolphins' Week 2 loss to the Bills. The status of both backs is thus worth tracking in advance of Sunday's game against the Seahawks, with Wilson's chances of making a mark this weekend largely tied to Mostert's availability.

Oblique injury not severe

Wilson (oblique) has avoided a major injury after being forced off the field late in Thursday's 31-10 loss to the Bills, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Wilson avoiding a serious health concern is one bright spot for Miami's offense, which is treading uncertain waters following the placement of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa into the concussion protocol. The team could have to rely on Skylar Thompson under center Week 3 versus the Seahawks, by which time Raheem Mostert (chest) might be a candidate to retake the field. Wilson didn't log a carry before being ruled out Thursday versus Buffalo, though he did secure both of his targets for 12 yards.

Exits late in Thursday's loss

Wilson exited Thursday's game with an oblique injury and was ruled out from returning, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Wilson was expected to see an expanded role in the absence of Raheem Mostert (chest), though he ultimately managed only two catches for 12 yards with no rushing attempts. It's unclear if the injury caused his limited workload, though Wilson will now have 10 days to recover until Miami's Week 3 matchup against Seattle.

Could get expanded workload

Wilson may be in line to handle increased backfield work Thursday against Buffalo with Raheem Mostert (chest) ruled out for the contest and De'Von Achane (ankle) considered a game-time decision, Chris Brown of the Bills Radio Network reports.

Analysis: Wilson was already involved in Miami's running back rotation during the team's Week 1 win over Jacksonville, as his five carries for 26 yards ranked a close third on the team behind Achane and Mostert. For Week 2, Wilson should at the very least handle expanded reps with Mostert out, but if Achane also ends up unable to play or is limited, the bulk of the Dolphins' backfield reps may fall on the veteran's shoulders. Rookie fourth-round pick Jaylen Wright is also likely to have a role after…read more

Involved in rotation Week 1

Wilson rushed five times for 26 yards during the Dolphins' 20-17 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

Analysis: Wilson finished third in terms of carries behind De'Von Achane (ankle) and Raheem Mostert (chest) in Week 1, but he led Miami's backfield in rushing yards. Achane and Mostert are both nursing injuries heading into a Thursday night divisional matchup against the Bills, so there's a chance Wilson tends to a more significant workload Week 2. Rookie fourth-round pick Jaylen Wright could also get a chance to make his NFL debut if one or more of Miami's backfield starters is limited or inactive…read more

Back from broken nose

Wilson rushed four times for minus-1 yard and caught two of three targets for 21 yards in Friday's 24-14 preseason loss to the Buccaneers.

Analysis: It was revealed during the game that Wilson broke his nose earlier in August, per Alain Poupart of Sports Illustrated, which explains his absence from Miami's second preseason game. Wilson didn't do much in this preseason finale, but he scored a touchdown in the preseason opener against the Falcons. Miami will definitely keep Raheem Mostert, De'Von Achane and rookie fourth-round pick Jaylen Wright on the roster at running back, so Wilson's at risk of being a surprise cut prior to the Sept. 8…read more

Not in uniform Saturday

Wilson, Ahmed and Jaylen Wright aren't in uniform for Saturday's preseason game against Washington, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports.

Analysis: The Dolphins are expected to play a lot of their key players, possibly including RBs Raheem Mostert and De'Von Achane. However, it'll be surprising if either of those guys plays beyond the first few drives, which means Chris Brooks should get a ton of playing time if Wilson, Ahmed and Wright are all held out.

Finds end zone in preseason win

Wilson rushed five times for seven yards and secured three of four targets for 18 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 20-13 preseason win over the Falcons on Friday night.

Analysis: Wilson drew the start with both Raheem Mostert and De'Von Achane sitting out, but as his final line implies, the veteran back could barely get anything going on the ground. However, Wilson showed off his trademark pass-catching acumen with solid work through the air, and he recorded Miami's first touchdown of the night on a six-yard reception early in the second quarter. Wilson did see rookie fourth-round pick Jaylen Wright, who entered the game after him, impress with 55 rush yards and a score…read more

Not assured of roster spot?

Wilson is part of a crowded backfield alongside Raheem Mostert, De'Von Achane and rookie fourth-round pick Jaylen Wright, Omar Kelly of The Miami Herald reports.

Analysis: Wilson may be a favorite of coach Mike McDaniel, but the 28-year-old nonetheless faces a difficult path to earning a roster spot if the three aforementioned RBs stay healthy this summer. With those three being roster locks, the Dolphins may end up having Wilson, Salvon Ahmed and Chris Brooks competing for one or two spots on the practice squad. Wilson agreed to a contract restructure in March, dropping his base salary to $1.12 million while guaranteeing him $400,000, per Barry Jackson of the…read more

Quiet in wild-card loss

Wilson secured one of two targets for six yards during the Dolphins' 26-7 wild-card loss to Kansas City on Saturday.

Analysis: Wilson had a quiet end to an underwhelming 2023 campaign in which he racked up 188 rushing yards on 41 carries (4.6 average) across 10 regular-season appearances, plus 14 catches for 85 yards on 17 targets. Despite missing the first six games of the season to rib and finger injuries and seeing a substantial downtick in total production, Wilson's end-of-year efficiency metrics still stand out, and his versatility makes him a valuable depth piece for Miami behind Raheem Mostert and De'Von Achane.…read more

Season-high snap count in finale

Wilson rushed nine times for 45 yards in Sunday's 21-14 loss to Buffalo.

Analysis: Wilson worked as the No. 2 option out of the backfield behind De'Von Achane (toe) while Raheem Mostert (knee) was sidelined Sunday. He was efficient in limited action, though not to the extent that Mostert and Achane have proven this season, and the Dolphins appear optimistic that their top two tailbacks will be available for Saturday's wild-card game in Kansas City. Mostert's availability looks the most up in the air, but if either he or Achane is sidelined for the playoff opener, Wilson will…read more

Limited role Sunday

Wilson ran for 21 yards on three carries and caught three passes for 13 yards on four targets in Sunday's 56-19 loss to the Ravens.

Analysis: The Ravens consistently added scoreboard distance between themselves and Miami over the course of the game, and as the Dolphins fell behind there was increasingly less room for Wilson in the game plan. In a closer game the Dolphins might have had more carries to distribute, but even with Raheem Mostert (knee/ankle) out Wilson saw only three carries to De'Vone Achane's 14. Wilson appears safely behind both Mostert and Achane at this point, though if either were to miss time Wilson could pop back…read more

Could have expanded profile Sunday

Wilson is likely to have an expanded role as the Dolphins' No. 2 back behind De'Von Achane in Sunday's game against the Ravens with Raheem Mostert (knee/ankle) likely to be inactive for the contest, Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network report.

Analysis: Mostert is officially listed as questionable but is expected to miss his first game of the season after he managed just one limited practice this week while tending to his pair of injuries. The explosive Achane could make a push for a 20-touch workload Sunday with Mostert out of the picture, but the Dolphins will still likely attempt to keep the rookie fresh by mixing Wilson and perhaps even third-stringer Chris Brooks into the backfield. While Mostert was limited due to his injuries in the…read more

Handles six touches

Wilson rushed five times for 21 yards and secured his only target for four yards during Sunday's 22-20 win over Dallas.

Analysis: Wilson was moderately productive in limited action, as he once again handled a reserve role behind Raheem Mostert and De'Von Achane. The versatile veteran doesn't have a path to fantasy relevance or double-digit touches unless Miami's depth chart ahead of him changes. He projects for similar usage Week 17 at Baltimore.

Quiet again in No. 3 role

Wilson rushed two times for five yards during Sunday's 30-0 win over the Jets. He also secured one of two targets for one yard.

Analysis: Wilson continues to handle a clear depth role with Raheem Mostert and De'Von Achane both healthy. It's difficult to imagine a path for Wilson to handle a relevant workload without at least one of the starters ahead of him missing time, meaning he remains off the fantasy radar heading into a key Week 16 matchup against Dallas.

Little involvement with Achane back

Wilson carried the ball four times for 11 yards during Sunday's 45-15 win over the Commanders.

Analysis: Wilson played third fiddle behind a healthy Raheem Mostert (11-43-1) and De'Von Achane (17-73-2), ultimately logging just five offensive snaps. Though Wilson's involvement may not always be that extremely marginal, it's clear that he lacks a path to significant volume as long as both Mostert and Achane are in the lineup. His fantasy value is limited to deep formats heading into a Week 14 matchup against the Titans.

Gets 14 touches with Achane out

Wilson rushed 11 times for 56 yards and caught all three of his targets for 17 yards in Friday's 34-13 win over the Jets.

Analysis: Wilson worked as the No. 2 running back behind Raheem Mostert, who rushed 20 times for 94 yards and two touchdowns. De'Von Achane (knee) was held out of this game but seems to have a good chance to return in Week 13 against the Commanders, which would push Wilson down to a third-string role.

Active Friday, likely as No. 2 back

Wilson is active and is expected to serve as the Dolphins' top backup running back behind starter Raheem Mostert in Friday's game against the Jets with De'Von Achane (knee) inactive for the contest.

Analysis: In Achane's return from injured reserve during the Dolphins' Week 11 win over the Raiders, Wilson found himself inactive while Miami went with Mostert, Achane and Salvon Ahmed as its three running backs. However, with Ahmed suffering a season-ending foot injury in that contest and with Achane now sidelined for at least the Week 12 game after tweaking his knee in the team's win over Las Vegas, Wilson will re-enter the Miami backfield mix. Mostert is still expected to see the majority of the…read more

Expected to play Week 12

Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Wednesday that he expects Wilson to play in Friday's game against the Jets, Daniel Oyefusi of The Miami Herald reports.

Analysis: Wilson was a healthy inactive in Miami's 20-13 win over the Raiders in Week 11, as the team welcomed De'Von Achane back from a knee injury. Per Hal Habib of the Palm Beach Post, McDaniel mentioned Salvon Ahmed's special teams contributions as a reason that the team went with Ahmed over Wilson as the third running back behind Raheem Mostert and Achane. Ahmed (foot) has since been placed on injured reserve with a season-ending injury, while Achane (knee) is uncertain to play Friday. As a result,…read more

Healthy inactive for Week 11

Wilson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Analysis: Wilson's status as a healthy inactive for Week 11 represents a steep fall for a player who averaged 4.9 yards per carry and scored six touchdowns in 16 games a season ago, but it likely speaks to the confidence the Dolphins have in the health of rookie De'Von Achane (knee), who will make his return from injured reserve Sunday. After the tandem of Achane and Raheem Mostert proved to be a lethal one through the first five weeks of the season while Wilson was on IR with an injury of his own,…read more

Gets involved as pass catcher

Wilson ran the ball two times for six yards in Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Chiefs. He added three receptions on four targets for 32 yards.

Analysis: Wilson remained relatively uninvolved on the ground, and he now has only seven rushing attempts in three games this season. More encouraging was his involvement as a pass catcher, as he managed season-best marks in receptions, targets and yards. That role could disappear quickly, however, as De'Von Achane (knee) will be eligible to be activated from injured reserve in Week 11, when Miami will be coming off its bye.

Just one touch in debut

Wilson secured his only target for four yards during Sunday's 31-17 loss to the Eagles. He did not record a carry.

Analysis: Wilson was an afterthought behind both Raheem Mostert and Salvon Ahmed in his season debut. The veteran may simply still be rusty after having missed the first six games of the season due to multiple injuries, but fantasy managers will want to see him handle a notable workload before considering him a trustworthy lineup option, especially with a matchup against New England's stout defense coming in Week 8.

Ready for season debut

Wilson (ribs/finger) was activated off injured reserve Saturday.

Analysis: As a result, the veteran is now slated to make his 2023 season debut. The emergence of Chris Brooks (ankle) and De'Von Achane (knee) likely would have relegated Wilson to a bit of an afterthought in the Dolphins backfield after registering 4.7 yards per carry across 84 carries last season, but with the two rookies on injured reserve, Wilson could serve as an immediate complement to starter Raheem Mostert right from the get-go.

Three straight FPs but still on IR

Wilson (ribs/finger) was a full participant for a third consecutive practice Friday.

Analysis: Wilson practiced without limitations this week, and the Dolphins opened up a spot on their 53-man roster by moving fellow running back Chris Brooks (ankle) to injured reserve Friday, so all signs point to the former coming off injured reserve to suit up Sunday against the Eagles. Once he's officially activated, Wilson will likely leapfrog Salvon Ahmed as the primary backup to Raheem Mostert, at least until productive rookie De'Von Achane (knee) returns from his own IR stint.

Opens week with full practice

Wilson (ribs/finger) was a full participant in practice Wednesday, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

Analysis: Wilson's 21-day window to return from injured reserve was opened last Wednesday, but he remained sidelined for the Week 6 win over Carolina. After being limited in practice heading into that game, Wilson has progressed to full participation as the Dolphins begin their preparation for Sunday's game against the Eagles. If Wilson is activated from injured reserve, he'll likely work as the primary backup to Raheem Mostert this weekend.

Not ready for Sunday

Wilson (ribs/finger) was not activated off injured reserve Saturday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

Analysis: This was always going to be the likely conclusion after Wilson was listed as doubtful following Friday's final injury report. As a result, Raheem Mostert will be the main ball carrier in a tremendous matchup against the Panthers, with Salvon Ahmed figuring to be the next man up.

Doubtful for Week 6

Wilson (ribs/finger) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Travis Wingfield of the Dolphins' official site reports.

Analysis: Miami was reportedly undecided on Wilson's status earlier Friday, but after he put in a third consecutive limited practice, the running back is now considered unlikely to be activated from injured reserve for his season debut this weekend. The Dolphins opened Wilson's 21-day evaluation window Wednesday, so even though he's poised to remain out Sunday, the team will still have two more weeks to add him back to the 53-man roster. With De'Von Achane (knee) joining Wilson on IR earlier this week,…read more

Team still mulling decision

The Dolphins have yet to decide whether Wilson (ribs/finger) will be activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Panthers, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Analysis: Wilson was designated for return from injured reserve Wednesday, but he was limited in practice both Wednesday and Thursday. Miami may wait to see how he looks in Friday's practice before deciding whether to activate the running back. If Wilson ultimately plays, he would likely cede the majority of backfield touches to Raheem Mostert while splitting the remaining workload with Chris Brooks and Salvon Ahmed in De'Von Achane's (knee) absence.

Remains limited in practice

Wilson (ribs/finger) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Analysis: Practicing for the second time in the regular season after being designated for return from injured reserve Wednesday, Wilson once again had his reps capped. The Dolphins may want to see if Wilson can practice fully Friday before activating him from IR ahead of Sunday's game against the Panthers, but offensive coordinator Frank Smith said Thursday that the running back looks ready to play this weekend, according to Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald.

Limited in first practice

Wilson (ribs/finger) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Wilson practiced for the first time this season after he was designated for return from injured reserve earlier Wednesday. The transaction opens up a 21-day window for the Dolphins to evaluate him for a return to the 53-man roster, and Sunday's game against the Panthers marks the earliest opportunity for Wilson to potentially play. If activated ahead of the Week 6 matchup, Wilson would likely slide into the No. 2 running back role behind Raheem Mostert, with De'Von Achane (knee) headed for IR.…read more

Practice window opens

The Dolphins designated Wilson (midsection/finger) for return from injured reserve Wednesday, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports.

Analysis: The transaction opens up a 21-day window for the Dolphins to evaluate Wilson in practice before deciding whether to add him to the 53-man roster or keep him on IR for the rest of the season. Wilson's return to practice Wednesday coincides with head coach Mike McDaniel's confirmation that rookie De'Von Achane (knee) will be placed on IR.

To practice soon

Wilson (ribs) is expected to be designated for return from injured reserve this week, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Analysis: Once the transaction is official, Wilson would then have a 21-day practice window opened, which would give him a chance to make his season debut as early as Sunday's matchup against the Panthers. The veteran running back has missed the first five weeks of the 2023 campaign due to midsection and finger injuries suffered in the preseason.

Wilson (midsection) won't practice Wednesday and appears on track to remain out for the Dolphins' Week 5 game against the Giants, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: After being placed on injured reserve Aug. 31, Wilson is eligible to resume practicing this week, but the running back doesn't seem to have made enough progress in his recovery for the Dolphins to clear him for on-field reps. Whenever the Dolphins deem Wilson ready to practice, the team will then have up to 21 days to evaluate him for a return to the 53-man roster.

Wilson (knee) should be ready to return from the injured list Week 5 according to his agent Drew Rosenhaus, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

Analysis: Coach Mike McDaniel was vague about Wilson's expected return timetable after the running back's initial placement on IR, but it looks like he may miss only four games after all. Wilson is dealing with injuries to his midsection and finger, the details of which have yet to be disclosed in full. With Wilson out a minimum of four games, Raheem Mostert looks set to begin the 2023 campaign as Miami's clear lead back.

Return this season not ruled out

Coach Mike McDaniel said Wednesday that he "wouldn't be surprised" if Wilson (abdomen), who the Dolphins placed on IR, is able to return this season, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Wilson will be eligible to return from IR after missing at least a requisite four games, but McDaniel's hesitancy to guarantee an expected return date could hint at a longer recovery for the veteran running back. He's dealing with two separate issues, per David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, injuries to both his midsection and finger.

Could return later this year

Wilson is recovering from midsection and finger injuries, with coach Mike McDaniel saying Thursday that he "wouldn't be surprised" if the running back comes back from injured reserve later this season, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

Analysis: Wilson left practice early Aug. 9 and subsequently missed the rest of the preseason, leaving more reps for De'Von Achane (shoulder), Salvon Ahmed (neck) and Chris Brooks behind probable starter Raheem Mostert. Only Mostert and Brooks were healthy at the end of the preseason, but Achane and Ahmed could join them in the coming days/weeks, whereas Wilson needs more time to rest/heal. Wilson is ineligible through Week 4, making Oct. 8 against the Giants his earliest possible date for a 2023 debut.

Placed on IR

The Dolphins placed Wilson (undisclosed) on injured reserve Thursday, ruling him out for the first four games.

Analysis: Wilson initially left practice early Aug. 9 and didn't play in any of Miami's preseason games. He's now ineligible for the first four weeks of the regular season, though the team hasn't provided details on the nature of his injury. Fellow RBs De'Von Achane (shoulder) and Salvon Ahmed (head) also picked up injuries this August, but so far neither has been ruled out for Week 1 at the Chargers.

Wilson (undisclosed) is not expected to play in Saturday's preseason finale against Jacksonville, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Analysis: Wilson left practice early Aug. 9 and missed all three weeks of the preseason. He and De'Von Achane (shoulder) both appear uncertain for Week 1, which opens the door for Salvon Ahmed, Myles Gaskin or Chris Brooks to get a spot on the initial regular-season roster.

Unlikely to play Saturday

Wilson (undisclosed) is not expected to play in Saturday's preseason contest against Houston.

Analysis: Wilson left last Wednesday's practice early due to an undisclosed issue, and he didn't play in the Dolphins' first preseason game. The veteran back is now being held out of the team's second exhibition contest, though the nature and extent of the issue are unclear. When healthy, Wilson is expected to form a 1-2 punch with Raheem Mostert in Miami's backfield this season, with rookie De'Von Achane providing additional firepower.

Wilson (undisclosed) departed Wednesday's practice early with an injury, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

Analysis: The nature of Wilson's injury isn't known, but even if he's just tending to a minor issue, it could affect his availability for Friday's preseason game against the Falcons. The veteran looks primed to handle a sizable role in Miami's backfield alongside Raheem Mostert and rookie Devon Achane, so it will be worthwhile to monitor his status closely.

Staying in South Beach

The Dolphins re-signed Wilson to a two-year contract Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: With the team also retaining Raheem Mostert, Miami now brings back its core backfield duo from the second half of the 2022 season. After the 49ers dealt Wilson to South Beach at the trade deadline last November, he racked up 96 touches for 486 yards from scrimmage and four TDs from Weeks 9-18, while Mostert racked up a 98-544-3 line in the same span. Expect a similar breakdown for the pair in the coming campaign.

The Dolphins made a midseason trade with the 49ers last year to acquire Wilson in exchange for a fifth-round pick, and the 27-year-old logged an efficient 4.7 YPC and three touchdowns in eight games with his new team. With Raheem Mostert also a pending free agent, it could make sense for Miami to bring back one or both of the veteran backs, both of whom are…read more

Touchdown in defeat

Wilson rushed 10 times for 23 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Bills in the wild-card round. He also caught one of four targets for 13 yards.

Analysis: Wilson started with Raheem Mostert (thumb) sidelined and made it a one-score game with his one-yard touchdown during the fourth quarter. Although it otherwise wasn't a very productive performance from Wilson, he made a good impact upon joining the Dolphins midway through this season, rushing 84 times for 392 yards (4.7 per carry) and three touchdowns in eight games. He also caught 12 of 24 targets for 94 yards and another score. With Wilson an unrestricted free agent this offseason, it'll be…read more

Set for lead role in playoff opener

Wilson is set to lead Miami's backfield in Sunday's playoff game against the Bills, as Adam Beasley of Pro Football Network reports that Raheem Mostert (thumb) has been ruled out.

Analysis: Wilson should see the bulk of carries in Mostert's absence, and Miami will likely try to lean on its running game with third-string quarterback Skylar Thompson under center. Salvon Ahmed will back up Wilson, who mustered 52 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 14 touches against the Texans when Mostert sat out in Week 12.

Meanwhile, Raheem Mostert (thumb) missed his second straight practice Thursday, and if he's out this weekend, Wilson would likely be in store for an expanded workload in Miami's backfield versus Buffalo.

Analysis: Wilson now has two more chances to return to a full session prior to Sunday's wild-card game against the Bills.

Productive in Week 18 win

Wilson rushed 16 times for 72 yards and secured both targets for two yards in the Dolphins' 11-6 win over the Jets on Sunday.

Analysis: Wilson and backfield mate Raheem Mostert (thumb) consistently made inroads against a Jets run defense that had its share of trouble on the road most of the season. Wilson's long run was a relatively modest 16 yards, so he consistently garnered productive gains in support of rookie starting quarterback Skylar Thompson.

Inefficient in narrow loss

Wilson logged 15 carries for 45 yards and secured three of seven targets for 31 yards during Sunday's 23-21 loss to New England.

Analysis: Wilson was less effective than Raheem Mostert through the air, but he saw six more opportunities on the ground and just two less targets in Miami's continued backfield timeshare. His usage as a receiver was influenced by the Dolphins' quarterback situation, and coach Mike McDaniel could deploy a similar plan in Week 18 versus the Jets as both Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) and Teddy Bridgewater (finger) look to be in danger of missing the contest, leaving seventh-round rookie Skylar Thompson under…read more

Gets into end zone on Christmas

Wilson carried the ball nine times for 37 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Packers. He also caught one of two targets for three yards.

Analysis: His one-yard TD plunge early in the second quarter gave Miami a 17-10 lead, but the Dolphins' offense imploded and committed four turnovers after that. Wilson has gotten into the end zone in four of his last six games but hasn't reached 40 rushing yards in four straight, giving him limited fantasy appeal heading into a Week 17 clash with the Patriots.

Suits up Sunday

Wilson (hip) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Packers.

Analysis: Wilson, who was able to practice this past week in a limited fashion, is thus in line to rejoin the mix after a one-game absence. In his return to action Sunday, Wilson will look to reclaim a role in a Miami backfield that was led effectively by Raheem Mostert (17 carries for 136 yards) in the team's Week 15 loss to the Bills, a potential timeshare context that makes Wilson a speculative fantasy lineup option versus Green Bay.

Questionable for Sunday

Wilson (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers after practicing in a limited fashion this week, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: That Wilson was able to practice all week, albeit in a limited fashion, suggests the running back has a chance to return to action Sunday after being inactive this past Saturday against the Bills. If that happens, Wilson would be in line to reclaim his role in a Miami backfield that was led effectively by Raheem Mostert (17 carries for 136 yards) in Week 15, a context that would make Wilson a risky fantasy option versus Green Bay.

Wilson (hip) remained limited at practice Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Analysis: Per Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, Wilson indicated that his hip is feeling better, but the running back isn't quite ready to commit to playing Sunday against the Packers. Friday's final injury report will add context with regard to Wilson's Week 16 status, but if he's able to return to action this weekend, he'd rejoin a backfield that was led capably by Raheem Mostert (17 carries for 136 yards) in Wilson's absence this past Saturday against the Bills.

Analysis: Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that Wilson nearly was able to play in this past Saturday's loss to the Bills -- a sign that the running back is expected back for this Sunday's matchup with the Packers. A return to full practice Thursday or Friday would confirm that expectation and allow Wilson to resume his role splitting backfield snaps with Raheem Mostert, who had season highs for rushing yards (136), scrimmage yards (156) and snap share (76 percent) in the Week 15 loss.

Wilson (hip) is listed as inactive Saturday at Buffalo.

Analysis: Wilson thus will miss at least one game due to the hip injury that he sustained last Sunday night at the Chargers. In advance of Saturday's contest, he managed just one limited listing on Dolphins practice reports during Week 15 prep, so he may need to do a bit more this coming week to gain clearance for game action. With Wilson sidelined, Raheem Mostert will be the main running back for Miami, while Salvon Ahmed and Myles Gaskin are on hand for any backfield reps that linger.

Coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that Wilson (hip) is day-to-day, and the test results "are more positive than the worst-case scenario," Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

Analysis: Wilson left in the second quarter of the Dolphins' Sunday night loss to the Chargers with a hip injury and was ruled out at halftime. While the coach's comment is somewhat optimistic, Wilson's status for Week 15 remains unclear, and his potential availability likely won't be known until later in the week. If Wilson has to miss any time, Raheem Mostert figures to be the primary beneficiary in Miami's backfield, with Salvon Ahmed and Myles Gaskin the other RBs on the active roster.

Just one touch

Wilson rushed once for three yards and didn't catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 33-17 loss to the 49ers.

Analysis: Wilson was hardly used against his former team, barely making the stat sheet. Having scored in each of his prior three games for the Dolphins, the tailback's streak was snapped Sunday, while starter Raheem Mostert (seven carries for 30 yards) made a limited impact as well. Following Sunday's mere eight rushing attempts as a team, Wilson's fantasy managers will hope Week 14's game versus the Chargers coincides with more action out of the Dolphins' backfield.

Wilson rushed 13 times for 39 yards and a touchdown and secured one of three targets for 13 yards in the Dolphins' 30-15 win over the Texans on Sunday.

Analysis: Wilson was lined up for an absolute slam dunk of a matchup on paper, but he encountered a feisty Texans front keyed on slowing him down on most of his carries. The trade-deadline acquisition did salvage his day from a fantasy perspective with a three-yard touchdown run early in the second quarter, and after an incident in which his legs appeared to lock up from cramping early in the second half, Wilson was able to reenter the game.

Clear path to lead role Week 12

Wilson is expected to serve as the Dolphins' clear lead back Sunday against the Texans with Raheem Mostert (knee) listed as doubtful for the game, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

In the two games following his acquisition, Wilson has outsnapped Mostert by a 67-43 margin and has out-touched him 31-21. Miami has Salvon Ahmed and Myles Gaskin to fill Mostert's role, but at least as long as Sunday's game against the 1-8-1 Texans remains competitive, expect the Dolphins to rely more heavily on Wilson than usual.

Wilson also saw an appreciable boost in his workload on the ground after logging nine carries in his Week 9 debut, more than doubling backfield mate's Raheem Mostert's eight totes Sunday.

Wilson also made his mark as a receiver with a critical 10-yard touchdown grab with 6:02 remaining, making it a very productive start to his Miami tenure.

Wilson rushed four times for 14 yards and caught both of his targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 31-14 win over the Rams.

Analysis: Christian McCaffrey scored three touchdowns and took over as the 49ers' feature back following a full week of practice, effectively cementing Wilson as the backup. The 26-year-old did well in his run as fill-in starter prior to the big trade, but his fantasy value is diminished if McCaffrey is going to dominate the backfield touches this heavily.

Wilson rushed seven times for 54 yards and failed to haul in his lone target in Sunday's 44-23 loss to Kansas City.

Analysis: Wilson remained the starter following a mid-week trade for Christian McCaffrey, but he experienced a drop in usage following the addition of one of the best backs in the league. The incumbent figures to remain involved in the offensive gameplan even after McCaffrey inevitably takes over as the featured back, but the veteran's days as a startable fantasy asset are likely over following the blockbuster trade. Wilson's role may reduce even further against the Rams next Sunday.

Role in line to decrease

With the 49ers having traded for Christian McCaffrey, per David Newton of ESPN.com, Wilson is in line to move to a complementary role in the team's offense.

Analysis: Through six games, Wilson leads the 49ers with 81 carries, but once McCaffrey is up to speed with the team's playbook, he'll be slated to handle the bulk of San Fransisco's backfield touches. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, McCaffrey is a candidate to suit up Sunday against Kansas City and potentially be used in a red-zone package in such a scenario. In that context, Wilson could remain involved in his team's Week 7 rushing attack, but looking ahead, his fantasy utility should taper off in the…read more

Putrid results in defeat

Wilson rushed seven times for 25 yards while losing a fumble and failing to haul in his lone target in Sunday's 28-14 loss to the Falcons.

Analysis: Wilson got off to a rough start, coughing up the ball on a short rushing attempt that led to a defensive touchdown and an early 14-0 lead for Atlanta. The 26-year-old entered Sunday's tilt coming off of his best performance of the season (17/120/1), which makes Sunday's dud in a soft matchup even more debilitating for those relying on the hot early season waiver add. San Francisco is suffering from a severe lack of depth at the running back position, so Wilson remains the starter and workhorse…read more

Huge numbers against Carolina

Wilson carried the ball 17 times for 120 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-15 win over the Panthers. He also caught one of two targets for 12 yards.

Analysis: The fifth-year back could have posted even better numbers, but Tevin Coleman made a surprising return to prominence by scoring two TDs of his own. It was Wilson's best single-game rushing total since he erupted for 183 yards in Week 16 of 2020, and even with Coleman back in town, he should remain the 49ers' lead back as long as Elijah Mitchell (knee) is sidelined.

Finds end zone in workhorse role

Wilson rushed 18 times for 74 yards and a touchdown but wasn't targeted in Monday's 24-9 win over the Rams.

Analysis: Wilson burst through a gaping hole up the middle and ran into the end zone untouched from 32 yards out in the first quarter. He displayed his terrific speed on the play, topping 20 miles per hour, per Nick Wagoner of ESPN. Wilson worked as San Francisco's workhorse in the backfield, as no other 49ers halfback touched the ball in this one. With Elijah Mitchell (knee) not close to returning, Wilson should continue to see heavy volume on the ground if the game script allows it in Week 5 against…read more

Loses fumble late

Wilson rushed 12 times for 75 yards while adding three receptions for 31 yards in Sunday's 11-10 loss to Denver.

Analysis: Wilson had an impressive catch-and-run on the 49ers' final offensive drive, but he coughed up the rock near the first-down marker, effectively killing his team's comeback attempt. Other than the untimely fumble, the veteran back ran hard in his second start in place of the injured Elijah Mitchell (knee). The latter still has at least six weeks of recovery time left, and San Francisco is running out of healthy bodies in the backfield, so we can expect another heavy workload for Wilson against…read more

Leading rusher in Week 2 win

Wilson carried the ball 18 times for 84 yards and caught both his targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 27-7 win over the Seahawks.

Analysis: He ceded some touches to rookie Tyrion Davis-Price in the second half of the comfortable win, but as expected, Wilson was the 49ers' backfield leader in the wake of Elijah Mitchell's knee injury. The team's overall offensive scheme could see some big changes with Jimmy Garoppolo taking over for Trey Lance (ankle) under center, but Wilson figures to retain a significant role in Week 3 against a Broncos defense that just gave up 69 rushing yards and a 4.6 YPC to Texans rookie Dameon Pierce.

Set for expanded role

With Elijah Mitchell in line to miss about eight weeks with an MCL sprain, Wilson is slated to fill in as the 49ers' lead back, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: While Wilson steps into an expanded role during Mitchell's looming absence, Barrows notes that Jordan Mason and Tyrion Davis-Price will compete in practice for the team's No. 2 RB role. Though it remains to be seen how heavy of a workload Wilson sees in the coming weeks, with QB Trey Lance and the versatile Deebo Samuel also factors in the 49ers' ground game, he's nonetheless worth a speculative add by fantasy managers looking to add running back lineup options ahead of Week 2 action.

Takes over for injured starter

Wilson took over for the injured Elijah Mitchell (knee) in the second half of Sunday's 19-10 loss to the Bears.

Analysis: Wilson finished the contest with nine carries for 22 yards and caught both targets for eight yards. The severity of Mitchell's injury will be revealed after Monday's MRI, but the breakout star from 2021 was seen in a brace after the game, which is an ominous sign. It is somewhat peculiar that head coach Kyle Shanahan did not give any carries to fellow backup and preseason standout Jordan Mason (zero touches). It was also a curious move by the 49ers' front office to leave third-round pick Tyrion…read more

Starts preseason finale

Wilson started Thursday's 17-0 preseason loss to the Texans and rushed three times for 16 yards while catching his only target for two yards.

Analysis: Wilson's deployment was more important than his stat line, as he was the first running back into the game for the 49ers, suggesting that he remains the team's top option at the position behind Elijah Mitchell (hamstring). The 49ers expect to get Mitchell back for the team's Sept. 11 season opener against Chicago, but Wilson appears to be next in line to start should Mitchell's recovery hit a snag.

On track for No. 2 job

Wilson "seems like the best bet to get the first shot" behind starting running back Elijah Mitchell (hamstring) this season, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Mitchell and Wilson both missed multiple games with injuries in 2021, as did Trey Sermon and third-down back JaMycal Hasty. The team brings back all four -- plus rookie third-round pick Tyrion Davis-Price -- but none of those backfield options have seemingly made a serious move to overtake the 26-year-old Wilson for the second spot on the depth chart. Wilson ran for 261 yards and two touchdowns in four fill-in starts last season, and while he likely won't see many carries when Mitchell is…read more

No action in preseason opener

Wilson did not log a carry or target in the 49ers' 28-21 preseason win over the Packers on Friday night.

Analysis: The fifth-year pro opened camp as the projected No. 2 back, yet even with Elijah Mitchell (hamstring) sidelined Friday, Wilson didn't see the field. Head coach Kyle Shanahan opted to give extensive playing time to rookie Tyrion Davis-Price, Trey Sermon, JaMycal Hasty and Jordan Mason, but with none of the quartet actually doing anything super to stand out, Wilson's depth-chart slotting likely wasn't affected by the night off.

Begins camp in No. 2 role

Wilson will open training camp as the No. 2 option behind Elijah Mitchell (knee) in San Francisco's backfield, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Wilson will compete to hold off two recent third-round picks during training camp, Trey Sermon (2021) and Tyrion Davis-Price (2022), but Barrows reports that if the season began now, it would be the 26-year-old veteran backing up Mitchell. Barrows also notes that Wilson has looked substantially better during spring practices than he did while working his way back from injury last season, when he averaged a career-low 3.7 yards per carry in nine appearances. When fully healthy, Wilson has proven…read more

Could make 53-man roster

Wilson is one of four running backs projected to make the 49ers' 53-man roster to begin the 2022 season, according to Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle.

Analysis: Wilson was considered a potential cut candidate after the 49ers selected a running back in the third round of consecutive drafts, but Branch believes the veteran's well-rounded skillset could outweigh the team's potential need for a third-down option (such as JaMycal Hasty). The 26-year-old Wilson will still have to prove his worth in camp along with re-establishing his durability after missing eight games last year. If Wilson makes the squad, his best prospects would be a backup role to Elijah…read more

Staying with San Francisco

Wilson agreed Wednesday with the 49ers on a new contract, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: The 26-year-old running back first latched on with the 49ers as an undrafted rookie in 2018, and he'll now stick in San Francisco for a fifth straight season. During his run with the team, Wilson has made nine starts -- including four in 2021 -- despite opening the season third or fourth on the team's depth chart most years. Heading into the 2022 season, Wilson will likely be behind Elijah Mitchell, at the very least, and he could also face additional competition for backup work if the Niners…read more

Not playing Sunday

Wilson (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's NFC Championship Game at the Rams, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Wilson managed just one limited practice this past week due to a low-ankle sprain suffered in the 49ers' divisional-round win at Green Bay. With a mostly healthy backfield otherwise, San Francisco will keep Wilson in street clothes Sunday. Aside from lead back Elijah Mitchell, the trio of JaMycal Hasty, Trey Sermon and Trenton Cannon are on hand for RB and special teams reps that linger.

Status in question for Sunday

Wilson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's NFC Championship Game at the Rams, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Analysis: After missing the first two practices of the week, Wilson at least was present at Friday's session as a limited participant, per Matt Barrows of The Athletic. Earlier this week, coach Kyle Shanahan revealed that Wilson is dealing with a low-ankle sprain suffered during the opening kickoff of the 49ers' divisional-round win at Green Bay. Ultimately, Wilson's status won't be confirmed until 90 minutes before Sunday's 6:30 p.m. ET kickoff.

Still not practicing

Wilson (ankle) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Analysis: Wilson was expected to be limited Wednesday, but with back-to-back DNPs so far this week, he appears to be trending in the wrong direction. Per Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News, Wilson even departed Thursday's session and went indoors after team stretches. In the end, Friday's practice report may provide a sense of whether or not Wilson has a chance to play in Sunday's NFC Championship Game at the Rams.

No practice Wednesday

Wilson (ankle) was held out of practice Wednesday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Analysis: Per Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area, head coach Kyle Shanahan labeled Wilson as a limited participant on the 49ers' pre-practice report, but the running back ended up logging no activity to begin the week. Wilson is tending to a low-ankle sprain that he sustained on the opening kickoff of the team's divisional-round win in Green Bay. He'll have two more chances to put himself in a position for his typical special-teams role ahead of Sunday's NFC Championship Game at the Rams.

Wilson (ankle) will be a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Analysis: Wilson has played just three snaps on offense through the first two weeks of the playoffs, and he suffered a low-ankle sprain while covering a kickoff in the divisional-round win over Green Bay. Head coach Kyle Shanahan suggested Wilson could still play against the Rams this Sunday, a notion supported by the limited practice Wednesday.

Wilson suffered a low-ankle sprain during Saturday's divisional-round win in Green Bay but has a chance to play in Sunday's NFC Championship Game at the Rams, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Analysis: Wilson picked up the injury while in coverage on the opening kickoff this past Saturday. Fortunately for the fourth-year running back, he doesn't have a more serious high-ankle sprain, per coach Kyle Shanahan. Wilson's activity level in practice this week likely will determine whether he's able to suit up Sunday.

Just six snaps on offense

Wilson was on the field for six offensive snaps (nine percent) and did not record a touch in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win over the Rams.

Analysis: Elijah Mitchell (knee) was cleared of injury designation heading into the matchup, leaving Wilson in a reserve role with JaMycal Hasty handling third-down duties. The veteran tailback finishes the 2021 regular season with 294 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 79 carries (3.7 YPC), most of which came during a three-week stretch where Wilson filled in for an injured Mitchell.

Gets 12 snaps as backup

Wilson was on the field for 12 offensive snaps (19 percent) and did not receive a touch in Sunday's 23-7 win over Houston.

Analysis: Elijah Mitchell (knee) returned from a three-game absence, bumping Wilson back into a backup role in the process. The lack of touches comes as a bit of a surprise, though the veteran back wasn't expected to have a significant role once the 49ers' starter returned. Fellow backup JaMycal Hasty stuck in his third-down role and finished with seven snaps on offense. Neither backup will have fantasy value against the Rams next Sunday as long as Mitchell remains healthy.

Stymied in Week 16 start

Wilson rushed 14 times for 45 yards and a touchdown and brought in all three targets for 12 yards in the 49ers' 20-17 loss to the Titans on Thursday night.

Analysis: Wilson's night got off to an encouraging start when he capped off a nine-play, 75-yard opening drive with a one-yard touchdown run. He also garnered 14 total yards on three touches in the first three plays of San Francisco's second possession, but it was a mostly quiet night for Wilson thereafter against a Titans defense that had come into the contest allowing the fewest rushing yards per game of any team on its home field.

Wilson has taken on a majority share of the running back reps in the meantime, racking up 36 touches for 175 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD.

Wilson tallied 21 carries for 110 yards and a touchdown while catching both of his targets for nine more yards in Sunday's 31-13 win over Atlanta.

The veteran back could have had an even bigger fantasy day, but two of 49ers' three rushing touchdowns went to two other players (Deebo Samuel and Kyle Juszczyk) who combined for just seven carries on the day.

Wilson is set to lead the 49ers backfield again with Elijah Mitchell (knee/concussion) ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Analysis: Wilson was disappointing from a fantasy standpoint last week in his second start of the year, finishing without a target and unable to score his first touchdown of the season in a win over the Bengals. He did, however, lead the team with 13 carries, and his 59 percent snap share wasn't too far south of what Mitchell has seen this year (66.1 percent in nine games).

Analysis: He led the Niners in carries and rushing yards as JaMycal Hasty and Kyle Juszczyk were confined to pass-catching duties, but it was Deebo Samuel who had the team's only rushing TD on the day.

Wilson and JaMycal Hasty will be the 49ers' primary running backs Sunday at Cincinnati with both Elijah Mitchell (concussion/knee) and Trenton Cannon (concussion) ruled out for the contest, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Analysis: The opportunity is there for Wilson to make an impact out of San Francisco's backfield, but he's coming off a game in which he lasted just one play on offense and 11 on special teams last Sunday at Seattle when he dinged up his surgically repaired knee. Since making his season debut Week 10, he's averaged 2.7 yards on his 31 carries and recorded two catches (on three targets) for 10 yards in four games.

Resumes reserve role

Wilson had two carries for five yards and caught his lone target for two more yards in Sunday's 34-26 win over the Vikings.

Analysis: Elijah Mitchell (finger) returned from a one-game absence and reestablished himself as the best running back in San Francisco's rotation (32 touches for 168 yards and a touchdown). This left Wilson as a pure backup after he failed to capitalize on Mitchell's absence (19 carries for 50 yards last week). The 26-year-old doesn't carry any fantasy value so long as Mitchell is healthy.

Sluggish output

Wilson ran for 50 yards on 19 carries against Jacksonville on Sunday.

Analysis: Wilson is more steady than explosive and the Jaguars' run defense has been surprisingly competent in 2021, so a disappointing box score like this was always in play for Wilson despite serving as the lead runner for the victors. Elijah Mitchell (finger) clearly offers more explosiveness, but it remains to be seen whether he's available in Week 12 against Minnesota.

JaMycal Hasty (ankle) was unable to suit up against the Rams, so Wilson took over his backup role Monday.

Wilson (knee) was activated off of the PUP list Sunday, but he did not record a snap in a 31-17 loss to the Cardinals.

Analysis: It was a bit surprising that Wilson didn't get involved in the offensive game plan given the lack of depth San Francisco has at the running back position. The 25-year-old was a solid fantasy contributor last season, contributing 733 combined yards and 10 combined touchdowns over 12 games (seven starts).

Clear-cut starter Elijah Mitchell (ribs) is currently listed as questionable for Sunday's pivotal divisional contest, but he did manage to participate in back-to-back practices to close the week.

Such a listing required him to spend at least the first six contests of the season on the sideline, but he wasn't expected to be ready for game action until midseason in any case. If the 49ers designate Wilson to return in the coming days, he'll have a three-week window in which to prove the health of his knee. The team is down Raheem Mostert for the season with chipped cartilage in…read more

May practice next week

Wilson (knee) has a chance to practice next week, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Analysis: Wilson already has missed the requisite six games in which to be activated from the reserve/PUP list, but his recovery from meniscus surgery in late May was always expected to extend until midseason. The 49ers are closing in on the midpoint of their schedule, and a return to the practice field next week would give him three weeks to prove the health of his knee and put himself in position to join the backfield between Weeks 9 and 12. An appearance during the front end of that timetable seems…read more

Likely out until late November

The 49ers aren't expecting Wilson (knee) to return from the PUP list until late November, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Back on Sept. 15, David Lombardi of The Athletic relayed that the 49ers were hoping Wilson would be back around mid-season, which falls in late October/early November. Barrows' latest report would seem to suggest that Wilson isn't progressing in his recovery from meniscus surgery quite as fast as the team initially anticipated, as a Week 11 game in Jacksonville on Nov. 21 now looks like the earliest potential date for the running back to make his 2021 debut. Wilson's continued absence should…read more

On track for midseason return

Wilson (knee) recently resumed running and is still expected to return from the PUP list around midseason, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: All eyes are on the San Francisco backfield after a wild Week 1 in which rookie third-round selection Trey Sermon was a healthy scratch and Raheem Mostert suffered a season-ending knee injury. Wilson may eventually help, but his presence on the PUP list means he can't play until Week 7 even if his rehab process speeds up. He had surgery in late May to repair a meniscus tear, with the recovery timeline set at 4-to-6 months.

Heads to reserve/PUP list

Wilson (knee) was placed on the reserve/PUP list Tuesday by the 49ers, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.

Analysis: With Wilson set to miss at least the first six weeks of the season after undergoing surgery on a torn meniscus in late May, this move more or less was expected. Meanwhile, the 49ers opted to cut Wayne Gallman after the preseason. Raheem Mostert and Trey Sermon are slated to head the backfield, with JaMycal Hasty and Elijah Mitchell on hand for any reps that remain.

Placed on PUP

Wilson (knee) is on the PUP list to start training camp, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Analysis: Most players on preseason PUP lists will be removed before the regular season, but that won't necessarily be the case with Wilson, who had surgery in late May to repair a torn meniscus. The rehab timeline was estimated at four-to-six months, with one report suggesting Wilson likely would stay on the PUP list for the beginning of the regular season, ruling him out for the first six games. He can still avoid that fate if his rehab trends toward the front end of the timeline, but Wilson isn't…read more

Expected to miss first six weeks

Wilson (knee) is expected to miss at least the first six weeks of the season, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Wilson was already expected to be sidelined for 4-to-6 months following surgery to repair a torn meniscus at the end of May, but this specific timeline report from Barrows indicates that the running back will be placed on the reserve/PUP list once training camp begins. Raheem Mostert is expected to lead the backfield attack in 2021, with Trey Sermon, Wayne Gallman and Elijah Mitchell (possibly in that order) jockeying for position during camp.

Out 4-6 months after knee surgery

Wilson recently underwent knee surgery to repair a torn meniscus and is expected to be sidelined 4-to-6 months, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: It's a tough break for the the 25-year-old, who will now be sidelined for the start of the season and could be out into November if he returns on the long end of the initial timeline. Raheem Mostert is poised to open the season atop the depth chart, while rookies Trey Sermon and Elijah Mitchell and veteran Wayne Gallman will provide some much-needed depth in Wilson's absence.

Re-ups in San Francisco

Wilson signed a one-year contract with the 49ers on Tuesday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Analysis: Wilson topped 100 yards twice during the 2021 season, including a 183-yard effort against the Cardinals in Week 16. He finished with 126 carries for 600 yards (4.8 YPC) and seven touchdowns, adding 12 receptions (28 targets) for 133 yards and three scores. Raheem Mostert is under contract for next season as well, so Wilson is slated to operate as the 1B back once again, barring any offseason additions.

Finishes with 10 TDs in 2020

Wilson received 23 touches for 88 combined yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's season finale, giving the back 733 combined yards from scrimmage and 10 total touchdowns in 12 games this season.

Analysis: Wilson narrowly made San Francisco's 53-man roster this season as the fourth running back on the depth chart, but he finished the year as the team's workhorse and potentially its best (and healthiest) option going into the 2021 campaign. The third-year man spent time sharing the workload with all three of the team's other veteran options at various parts of the season, but Wilson regularly saw the important fantasy touches around the goal line and in most passing situations.

Tops 200 total yards

Wilson carried the ball 22 times for 183 yards in Week 16 against the Cardinals. He added one reception for 21 yards and a touchdown.

Analysis: Wilson worked as the clear lead back for the 49ers, accounting for 22 of the team's 30 rushing attempts. He tallied the team's first touchdown, hauling in a pass over the middle of the field before beating a number of defenders on a 21-yard dash to the end zone. Wilson also added plenty of production on the ground, including explosive gains of 34, 25 and 23 yards.

Wilson (ankle) isn't listed on Tuesday's injury report.

Analysis: The 25-year-old sustained an ankle injury during Sunday's loss to the Cowboys, but his absence from the injury report indicates it was minor. Wilson should operate as San Francisco's No. 1 tailback the final two weeks of the season with Raheem Mostert (ankle) back on injured reserve.

Injures ankle Sunday

Wilson suffered an ankle injury during Sunday's 41-33 loss at Dallas, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Analysis: Wilson didn't get much run until Raheem Mostert departed in the third quarter after appearing to aggravate a left ankle injury. Overall, Mostert totaled 14 carries for 68 yards while Wilson notched 60 yards and one touchdown on 16 runs. With the 49ers' current top two running backs dealing with health concerns, Tevin Coleman (three rushes for 11 yards) and Jerick McKinnon (two catches for 22 yards on two targets) are the team's remaining health options at the position.

Cashes in on goal line

Wilson rushed 11 times for 31 yards and a touchdown Sunday, adding 13 more yards on one reception (three targets) in a 23-15 loss to Washington.

Analysis: Starter Raheem Mostert out-touched Wilson, 16-12, but the latter was given the opportunity to punch the ball into the end zone from one yard out in the first quarter. The 25-year-old Wilson did, however, have an ugly drop late in the contest that would have extended a comeback drive, but the trip to the end zone salvaged what would have been a disappointing game.

Continues to split time

Wilson rushed seven times for 47 yards and caught two passes (five targets) for 12 yards in Monday's 34-24 loss to Buffalo.

Analysis: Wilson continued to split the backfield workload with Raheem Mostert, logging 28 snaps (46 percent) to the latter's 27 (44 percent). Both backs took big chunks out of the opposition's defense, but neither reached double-digit carries after the 49ers fell behind by multiple scores in the second half.

Wilson carried 12 times for 43 yards and lost a fumble during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Rams.

Analysis: Making his first appearance in over a month after recovering from an ankle injury, Wilson finished four behind Raheem Mostert for the team lead in carries. He averaged just 3.6 yards per carry after averaging 6.6 over his previous two outings, and his fumble toward the end of the first quarter squandered excellent field position for his team.

Analysis: Making his first appearance since Oct. 25 at New England, Wilson may factor into the 49ers backfield with Tevin Coleman (knee) unavailable. That said, Raheem Mostert also was activated from IR on Saturday, so Wilson could play second or even third fiddle with Jerick McKinnon on hand.

Jerick McKinnon is the only fully healthy, experienced running back heading into Sunday's game. It's a fool's errand to project how the backfield reps will be divvied up, but Wilson may be the odd man out if Mostert is at 100 percent.

Wilson (ankle) is slated to be activated from IR prior to Sunday's road game versus the Rams, as coach Kyle Shanahan considers the running back questionable to suit up, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: With Tevin Coleman (knee) ruled out for Week 12, the 49ers are calling in reinforcements in the form of Raheem Mostert (ankle) and Wilson. Both running backs are coming off multi-week recoveries, and Wilson himself hasn't suited up since Week 7. If Wilson is active Sunday, he may have to contend with Mostert for touches, though Jerick McKinnon could lead the backfield as the only consistently healthy San Francisco running back this season.

Moved to IR

Wilson (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Analysis: This comes as no surprise considering the 49ers indicated Wilson would be placed on injured reserve earlier in the week. It's a tough bit of luck for the third-year pro after easily the best game of his career, but the return of Tevin Coleman (knee) and improving health of Jerick McKinnon likely spelled a decreased role for Wilson anyhow. Wilson will stay on injured reserve a minimum of three weeks; just long enough for Raheem Mostert (ankle) to also be eligible to return.

Dealing with high-ankle sprain

The injury Wilson suffered in Sunday's win over the Patriots is believed to be a high-ankle sprain, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Wilson rumbled for over 100 yards and three touchdowns before his injury. The typical recovery timeline for high-ankle sprains is 4-6 weeks, so there's a good chance Wilson will have to join fellow 49ers running backs Raheem Mostert (ankle) and Tevin Coleman (knee) on IR. If that turns out to be the case, JaMycal Hasty should take on an increased role alongside Jerick McKinnon in the run-heavy 49ers offense.

With Raheem Mostert and Tevin Coleman both ruled out due to knee injuries, Wilson should have a role in the 49ers offense Sunday against the Giants, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Jerick McKinnon is expected to get the start and most likely the majority of targets, but it isn't quite clear how the carries will be divided, and Wilson does have some history of goal-line usage in Kyle Shanahan's offense.

Analysis: Wilson and Jerick McKinnon will lead the 49ers' backfield in Week 3, and there's a chance practice squad RB JaMycal Hasty gets a few reps, too. Wilson has logged just two carries for three yards through two games, while McKinnon has showed more explosiveness with six rushes for 101 yards and a TD and three receptions for 20 yards and a score. It'll be tough to depend on Wilson in most formats, but he has sneaky TD potential.

Makes 53-man roster

Wilson survived the 49ers' final roster cutdown over the weekend and will be one four runnings back on the team's 53-man unit heading into Sunday's season opener versus the Cardinals.

Analysis: The top three remembers on the 49ers' running-back depth chart were already set in stone, so Wilson was primarily competing with undrafted rookie JaMycal Hasty for one roster spot. The former's inability to qualify for a traditional practice squad spot was likely enough to give him the edge over Hasty. Wilson should only be considered depth to begin the season, and he'll likely be one of the 49ers' healthy inactives Week 1.

Elevated from COVID list

The 49ers removed Wilson (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Analysis: Wilson only spent a handful of days on the list, so it's more likely that he met the caveat of recent exposure to someone who tested positive for COVID-19 -- rather than test positive himself -- upon his arrival to camp. He'll now focus his efforts on retaining a roster spot in a backfield headed up by Raheem Mostert, Tevin Coleman and Jerick McKinnon.

Wilson signed his exclusive-rights free agent tender Monday.

Analysis: Wilson is set to earn $750,000 in 2020 before becoming a restricted free agent next offseason. Though he reached the end zone five times in 2019, Wilson averaged just 3.9 yards per carry and saw his role on offense dwindle down the stretch last season.

Effective when called upon

Wilson had 27 carries for 105 yards and four touchdowns, adding three receptions for 34 yards and another score in 10 games this season.

Analysis: Wilson began the year on the 49ers' practice squad for the second season in a row, and he was quickly promoted to the main roster in Week 2 after Tevin Coleman suffered a multi-week injury. The 24-year-old was effective early on as a goal-line back, scoring all four of his touchdowns in the first two games following his promotion.

Healthy scratch

Wilson (coach's decision) is inactive for Saturday's matchup with the Vikings.

Analysis: Wilson has been receiving healthy scratches since Week 14. It is no surprise he has again, as Raheem Mostert, Tevin Coleman and Matt Breida are all healthy and available in the backfield.

Performs when called upon

Wilson suited up for 10 games and finished with 27 carries for 105 yards and four touchdowns, adding three receptions for 34 yards and another score during the regular season.

Analysis: Wilson was signed off the practice squad for the second year in a row to fill in for injured backs, this time serving as a goal-line option early on. Improved backfield depth in 2019 led to less touches for the 23-year-old (78 to 30) despite appearing in four more contests. Wilson showed enough when he was called upon to be a solid backup in the NFL, so it wouldn't be surprising to see San Francisco offer him a minimum contract to keep the extended-rights free agent around for training camp in…read more

Remains healthy scratch

Wilson (coach's decision) is inactive for Saturday's game against the Rams.

Analysis: Wilson was active for Week 15 but didn't end up playing any offensive snaps. Raheem Mostert, Matt Breida and Tevin Coleman are all good to handle the backfield work for the 49ers on Saturday.

Healthy scratch in Week 14

Wilson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Saints, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Analysis: With Matt Breida (ankle) returning from a two-game absence, the 49ers are back to full strength in the backfield, which leaves no room on the 46-man gameday roster for Wilson as a fourth-string option at the position. Wilson made waves earlier this season with two-touchdown performances in both Weeks 2 and 3, but he's since found paydirt in just one of the seven games he's been active for while amassing only 87 total yards.

Rejoins game

Wilson (illness) returned to Sunday's 37-8 win over Green Bay in the third quarter.

Analysis: Wilson was deemed questionable to return after he exited the game due to an illness in the first half. He came back in the third quarter and took a carry for two yards, but he didn't see any work thereafter, with Tevin Coleman and Raheem Mostert holding down the fort in the backfield. Wilson finished the night with two carries for 27 yards and one target that he didn't catch.

Battling illness

Wilson (illness) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Green Bay, MJ Acosta of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Wilson showed no signs of anything bothering him when he rushed for 25 yards on his lone touch of the game thus far, but he's apparently battling an illness that's serious enough to put his status for the remainder of the contest into question.

Scores on lone touch

Wilson caught his lone target for a 25-yard touchdown in Sunday's 36-26 win over the Cardinals.

Analysis: Wilson was limited to special teams duties for nearly the entire contest until he briefly saw the field for a screen pass that he took for 25 yards to seal the win for San Francisco. The 24-year-old was able to shed his healthy scratch status due to Matt Breida's ankle injury. If the latter is unable to heal up before next Sunday's contest against the Packers, then Wilson will suit up as depth and once again have the opportunity to vulture touchdowns away from the workhorses in the 49ers'…read more

Healthy scratch Monday

Wilson (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's game versus the Seahawks.

Analysis: Raheem Mostert continues to play through a knee injury, but roster restrictions elsewhere seem to have forced coach Kyle Shanahan's hand. With Wilson sidelined, the 49ers will ride Tevin Coleman and Matt Breida out of the backfield while Mostert mostly is contained to special teams.

Records first catch of 2019

Wilson caught a two-yard pass during Thursday's 28-25 win over Arizona.

Analysis: Wilson's target was just his second of the season after 15 targets in six games in 2018. Wilson has had some big games in his first two seasons in the league, including back-to-back two-score games in Weeks 2 and 3 when San Francisco's backfield was banged up. The sophomore back can produce in Kyle Shanahan's offense when given the opportunity, but at the moment there are too many other weapons available to give Wilson those opportunities. Next up is a Seattle defense surrendering 4.7 yards per…read more
