Guerendo took nine carries for 34 yards while bringing in all four targets for 65 yards in Monday's 40-34 loss to the Lions. Guerendo made a successful return from a one-game layoff due to foot and hamstring injuries Week 17. The fourth-round rookie looked no worse for wear, generating 99 yards from scrimmage in a pass-heavy game plan. The only negative aspect of Guerendo's fantasy line was a lack of trips to the end zone after quarterbacks Brock Purdy (elbow) and Joshua Dobbs vultured a pair of short touchdown rushes. Guerendo may find himself more involved as a rusher if San Francisco's injured starting QB is unable to suit up against the Cardinals on Sunday.

Guerendo took nine carries for 34 yards while bringing in all four targets for 65 yards in Monday's 40-34 loss to the Lions. Guerendo made a successful return from a one-game layoff due to foot and hamstring injuries Week 17. The fourth-round rookie looked no worse for wear, generating 99 yards from scrimmage in a pass-heavy game plan. The only negative aspect of Guerendo's fantasy line was a lack of trips to the end zone after quarterbacks Brock Purdy (elbow) and Joshua Dobbs vultured a pair of short touchdown rushes. Guerendo may find himself more involved as a rusher if San Francisco's injured starting QB is unable to suit up against the Cardinals on Sunday.
Guerendo (foot/hamstring) doesn't have a designation for Monday's game versus the Lions, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports. Guerendo managed limited practices Thursday and Friday due to foot and hamstring injuries that sidelined him last Sunday in Miami. Adam Schefter of ESPN then reported Saturday afternoon that Guerendo was expected to play Week 17, which now is a formality following comments from coach Kyle Shanahan. Guerendo thus will pace the 49ers backfield Monday after doing so Weeks 14 and 15, when he combined for 37 touches for 203 total yards and two rushing TDs.
Guerendo (foot/hamstring) is expected to play Monday against the Lions, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. The 49ers have yet to post their final Week 17 injury report, but he seems destined to be listed as questionable considering he was limited in practice Thursday and Friday due to the foot and hamstring issues that sidelined him Week 16 at Miami. Assuming he's able to suit up Monday, he should take on the lead role out of San Francisco's backfield, which amounted to 37 touches for 203 yards from scrimmage and two rushing TDs between Weeks 14 and 15.
Guerendo (foot/hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity Friday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports. Guerendo now has managed back-to-back capped sessions to kick off Week 17 prep as he looks to put foot and hamstring injuries further in the rearview mirror. He sat out the 49ers' Week 16 loss at Miami due to the health concerns, and Saturday's practice report may provide a sense of his odds to return to action Monday against the Lions. If he's cleared for that contest, Guerendo likely will slot back in as the 49ers' lead runner over Patrick Taylor.
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Guerendo (foot/hamstring) will be limited at Thursday's practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports. As Shanahan projected Monday, Guerendo is returning to the practice field for the first time since Week 15 prep, which is a good sign after he sat out Week 16 in Miami due to foot and hamstring injuries. If Guerendo is able to make it through the week unscathed and suit up Monday against the Lions, he'd provide a boost for a 49ers backfield that will be without Christian McCaffrey (knee) and Jordan Mason (ankle) in Week 17.
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that the 49ers expect Guerendo (foot/hamstring) to practice Thursday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports. Guerendo emerged from a Week 15 loss to the Rams with foot and hamstring injuries that ultimately kept him off the practice field last week and out for Sunday's defeat at Miami. In Guerendo's place Week 16, Patrick Taylor got the start at running back and played 51 of 64 offensive snaps, but he mustered just 25 yards from scrimmage on nine touches. Meanwhile, Deebo Samuel moonlighted with five carries for 25 yards, and fullback Kyle Juszczyk also had two touches for 26 total yards. Guerendo's return to the field Thursday will be accompanied with a corresponding listing on the injury report, so a limited or even full showing will be an encouraging sign for the 49ers backfield.
Guerendo (foot/hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Miami, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. Guerendo didn't practice this week and thus appears in danger of missing time beyond Sunday. His absence leaves Patrick Taylor and Israel Abanikanda atop the depth chart at running back, with Ke'Shawn Vaughn likely to be elevated from the practice squad before Sunday. Taylor filled in as the lead back when Guerendo missed a chunk of San Francisco's Week 14 game with a foot injury, but that doesn't necessarily mean Taylor will dominate carries Sunday afternoon with more time to prepare for Guerendo's absence.
The 49ers are not expected to have Guerendo (hamstring) available for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Guerendo missed Wednesday's practice session due to a new hamstring injury, and Schefter's reporting makes it seem as though he'll be officially listed as a non-participant again Thursday. The rookie fourth-round pick managed to play through a foot sprain during last Thursday's 12-6 loss to the Rams, in which he rushed 16 times for 57 yards and brought in all four targets for 18 yards, handling all of San Francisco's running back touches. Head coach Kyle Shanahan hasn't yet commented on Guerendo's status for Week 16, but if he's indeed sidelined on the road against Miami, Patrick Taylor, Israel Abanikanda and practice-squad player Ke'Shawn Vaughn will be next up for backfield reps.
Guerendo will not practice Wednesday due to foot and hamstring injuries, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports. Guerendo played through a foot sprain in last Thursday's 12-6 loss to the Rams, and though he didn't experience any reported in-game setbacks with that injury, he's emerged from the contest with a new health concern. With Christian McCaffrey (knee) and Jordan Mason (ankle) both on injured reserve, the 49ers could realistically be taking a cautious approach to Guerendo's health, but his activity will now need to be monitored during practices Thursday and Friday. Patrick Taylor, Israel Abanikanda and practice-squad member Ke'Shawn Vaughn, are San Francisco's available backfield options behind Guerendo heading into a road matchup against the Dolphins on Sunday.
