San Francisco 49ers running back Jordan Mason has been placed on injured reserve due to a high-ankle sprain sustained during a recent game against the Buffalo Bills. This injury comes after Mason had taken on a larger role in the offense following Christian McCaffrey's knee injury. Mason had a solid performance against the Bills, rushing for 78 yards on 13 carries, but will now be sidelined until at least Week 18, opening up opportunities for other running backs on the roster.
- Jordan Mason's injury significantly impacts the 49ers' backfield strategy.
- Isaac Guerendo is expected to step up as the RB1 for the 49ers in Mason's absence.
