San Francisco 49ers RB Isaac Guerendo (shoulder) returned to practice Tuesday, Aug. 19 for the first time in 17 days, according to a report from ESPN.com. Guerendo injured his shoulder on Aug. 2 during special teams drills.
Footballguys view: Guerendo's return is a welcome development, with running back Patrick Taylor Jr. being placed on injured reserve after suffering a dislocated shoulder against the Raiders. The team added veteran RB Jeff Wilson Jr. to the mix for depth, but a healthy Guerendo should be the top option behind Christian McCaffrey. |

Footballguys view: Kiner was having a good summer and perhaps on track to make the team after two of the backs ahead of him went down with injuries. Last night, the 49ers lost him and Patrick Taylor. The only healthy backups on the roster now are Jeff Wilson and Ke'Shawn Vaughn, who were both recently signed. |

Link to storySan Francisco 49ers WR Jacob Cowing (hamstring) returned to practice on Tuesday, August 12.
Footballguys view: The 49ers' wide receiver corps has been plagued with injuries all offseason, but Cowing's return should inspire some hope. Cowing's speed and YAC abilities put him on the deep sleeper radar last year. But a modest season cooled excitement about a Year 2 breakout. However, given the state of the 49ers' receivers at the moment, Cowing makes for a decent stash in dynasty leagues. |

Footballguys view: Wilson knows the offense inside and out. While he's not more than a journeyman right now, if Isaac Guerendo's shoulder and Jordan James' finger are still issues going into Week 1, Wilson could be the backup for the season opener at Seattle. |
