TREY SERMON NEWS

Set for Eagles debut Sermon is active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Sage Hurley of the Eagles' official site reports.

Impact Sermon was claimed off waivers after failing to make the 49ers' Week 1 roster. He was inactive for Philadelphia's first two games, but with Boston Scott (ribs) sidelined, Sermon will have the chance to suit up. The Eagles regularly use a rotation at running back, so it's possible Sermon sees some work behind Miles Sanders and Kenneth Gainwell.

Expected to make team debut Sunday With Boston Scott (ribs) unlikely to play, Sermon is expected to make his Eagles debut Sunday against the Jaguars, Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Impact Sermon joined the Eagles following the initial 53-man roster deadline, but the second-year running back has been a healthy scratch for each of the first three games with his new squad. As a rookie with San Francisco last year, the 2021 third-round pick rushed 41 times for 167 yards and one score across nine appearances. It's unclear what his role with be during his debut, but Sermon will have a tough time garnering many touches behind Miles Sanders and Kenneth Gainwell.

Sitting again Week 2 Sermon (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's game against the Vikings.

Impact Since joining the Eagles after roster cut downs on Sept. 1, Sermon has been a healthy scratch for both of the team's contests. This may be his reality without an injury to a member of the backfield, which again will be paced by Miles Sanders, with Kenneth Gainwell and Boston Scott in reserve.

Why the 49ers Should Keep Jordan Mason Instead of Trey Sermon Through two preseason games, Sermon is averaging just 1.7 yards per carry, while Mason is averaging a whopping 5.8 yards per carry.

Back in action Sermon carried the ball five times and gained eight yards in Saturday's 17-7 preseason win over the Vikings. He also caught one of his two targets for four yards.

Impact The positive news is that Sermon was able to suit up after hobbling off the practice field Thursday. He was also the first back on the field with both Elijah Mitchell (hamstring) and Jeff Wilson (rest) sidelined. However, Sermon showed little burst, as his longest rush went for only three yards. His potential role remains unclear, though he could be involved in the offense if Mitchell isn't ready for a Week 1 matchup against the Bears.

Expected to play Saturday Sermon will test out his injured ankle ahead of Saturday's preseason contest against the Vikings, but the expectation is the second-year running back should play, Matt Barrows of T...

Impact Provided Sermon is good to go, the 2021 third-round pick could see a plethora of first-team reps with Elijah Mitchell sidelined due a hamstring injury. Sermon is in a complicated battle for the No. 2 RB role with rookie third-rounder Tyrion Davis-Price and long-standing veteran Jeff Wilson, although both of the latter options could be relegated to situational roles if the Ohio State product is able to build on what has been a positive training camp thus far.

Injured in practice Thursday Sermon hobbled off the practice field Thursday due to an undisclosed injury, and the team has yet to provide an update on his status, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

Impact If Sermon's forced to miss practice time, it would be an ill-timed absence, as fellow second-year running back Elijah Mitchell (hamstring) is already sidelined, leaving Jeff Wilson and rookie Tyrion Davis-Price to soak up most of the snaps in practice. An update on Sermon's status will likely be provided prior to Saturday's preseason game in Minnesota.

Inefficient in preseason win Sermon rushed six times for 11 yards and brought in his only target for five yards in the 49ers' 28-21 preseason win over the Packers on Friday night.

Impact The 2021 third-round pick is coming off an underwhelming rookie season, and he didn't exactly get his second campaign off to a rousing start Friday. Sermon's 1.8 yards per carry was the lowest figure of any 49ers running back for the night, and he saw backfield mates JaMycal Hasty and Jordan Mason turn in far more efficient efforts. Sermon will aim to give a better accounting of himself in his bid for a roster spot when San Francisco takes on the Vikings in a road exhibition clash a week from Saturday night.

May be featured Friday night Sermon was busy at Wednesday's practice and could see a lot of work Friday night against the Packers, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Sermon took the spotlight Wednesday with Elijah Mitchell not practicing for yet-to-be-disclosed reasons. Candidates for backup work behind Mitchell include Sermon, Jeff Wilson and Tyrion Davis-Price, with the competition seemingly open as the Niners prepare for the start of the preseason.

Shows up in good shape Coach Kyle Shanahan said Sermon "is as yolked up as he can be" for the start of training camp, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

Impact Shanahan believes the 2021 third-round pick learned some lessons from a disappointing rookie season. Sermon mostly remained buried on the depth chart while fellow rookie Elijah Mitchell emerged as the starter, but there's an opportunity to earn backup work this summer with the competition mainly consisting of veteran Jeff Wilson and rookie third-round pick Tyrion Davis-Price. It sounds like Sermon is off to a good start, at least when it comes to strength and conditioning. The practice field will be his real challenge, along with preseason games in the coming weeks.

Lot to prove in camp Sermon heads into training camp healthy and projected to sit third on the 49ers' running back depth chart, Kyle Madson of USA Today reports.

Impact Sermon's rookie season was one to forget, as the 2021 third-round pick failed to impress during his first go-around on the grand stage. Elijah Mitchell -- who was drafted three rounds after Sermon -- seized the opportunity to become head coach Kyle Shanahan's primary rushing option last year. While draft status doesn't always equate to instant success, the running back position generally is one that hasn't required lots of development time for rookies in the modern NFL, so Sermon will have a lot to prove in camp. From a fantasy perspective, the second-year back will not be a name going off the boards in standard formats, as he projects to start on special teams, assuming he can maintain that current projected status.

Inactive Sunday Sermon is inactive for Sunday's playoff game against the Cowboys.

Impact Though Sermon was recently activated from injured reserve, he's the odd man out Sunday, with Elijah Mitchell, JaMycal Hasty and Jeff Wilson available to handle the 49ers' backfield duties in the team's playoff opener.

Comes off IR The 49ers activated Sermon (ankle) from injured reserve Tuesday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact The 49ers needed to make this move by Tuesday, or else Sermon's 21-day practice window would have closed, and he would have remained on IR for the rest of the team's playoff run. Assuming all of Elijah Mitchell (knee), JaMycal Hasty and Jeff Wilson are available for Sunday's wild-card game at Dallas, there's a good chance Sermon is a healthy scratch. And that's also assuming Sermon heads into the weekend without an injury designation.

Not activated from Week 18 Sermon (ankle) wasn't among the players added to San Francisco's roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale against the Rams, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News re...

Impact San Francisco designated Sermon for return from injured reserve Dec. 22, a transaction that gives the team 21 days to evaluate him for a return to the 53-man roster. The team will thus have until Wednesday of the upcoming week to either activate Sermon or keep him on IR for the entirety of a potential postseason run, pending the results of the Week 18 games. The rookie running back will finish the regular season with 41 carries for 167 yards and a touchdown to go with three catches for 26 yards over nine appearances.
