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.

Impact 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 Cardinals.

Gets day off Tuesday Mostert received a vet day off Tuesday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

Impact 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.

Not practicing Tuesday Mostert didn't participate in the early part of Tuesday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Mostert wasn't in uniform and instead stretched with a member of the 49ers' training staff, according to Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News. There's been no indication of an injury, but Kyle Shanahan or another member of the coaching staff may clarify Mostert's status in due time.

Gets pay bump The 49ers and Mostert have restructured his contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact In early July, Mostert requested a trade from 49ers, citing dissatisfaction with the three-year extension he signed last offseason. As the month went on, the two sides worked to amend the situation, and it appears the running back has scored a pay raise on what was a $2.58 million base salary for 2020, as intimated by Mostert's agent, per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com. Mostert enters the season after emerging as San Francisco's go-to back in the second half of 2019 and through the team's Super Bowl run. Overall, he led NFL running backs in YPC (5.6) while pacing the 49ers with 1,108 yards and 13 touchdowns on the ground (including playoffs) last year. Despite his standing, Mostert is expected to yield some reps to Tevin Coleman and maybe even Jerick McKinnon on a weekly basis.

Hoping to mend fences Mostert recently spoke to a high-ranking member of the 49ers organization, hoping to work out his contract situation, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Entering the second season of a three-year, $8.65 million contract, Mostert approached the 49ers earlier this offseason in search of a pay raise or extension. Unhappy with the course of negotiations, the 28-year-old running back requested a trade a couple weeks ago. It appears he's still open to staying in San Francisco, but it isn't clear if Mostert will report for the start of training camp without a new contract in hand. A trade or holdout might benefit Tevin Coleman, Jerick McKinnon and Jeff Wilson, or possibly even undrafted rookies JaMycal Hasty and Salvon Ahmed. Niners coach Kyle Shanahan has an impressive track record assembling productive rushing attacks without the benefit of a star running back.
