Banged-up 49ers prepare for Giants without Garoppolo
Jimmy Garoppolo missed practiced with a sprained ankle and is unlikely to return this weekSEPTEMBER 23, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Not practicing Wednesday Mostert (knee) won't practice Wednesday, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact 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 t...
Impact 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. As the only healthy backs left standing, Jerick McKinnon and Jeff Wilson are poised to handle most of the reps and touches at the position Week 3, with McKinnon's prowess as a pass catcher probably making him the more appealing fantasy option of the two in the likely event Mostert is sidelined.

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.
Impact 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.

At 0-2, 'embarrassed' Jets need to change things in a hurry

Diagnosed with sprained MCL Mostert sustained a mild MCL sprain during Sunday's 31-13 road victory against the Jets, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact Mostert departed the game in the second quarter, but not before accumulating 107 yards from scrimmage on 10 touches, the longest one 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. Because of those injuries, Jerick McKinnon (three rushes for 77 yards and a score) and Jeff Wilson (two runs for three yards) round out the 49ers' healthy running backs.
