Running back
Raheem Mostert was among several San Francisco 49ers players to leave and not return to the game during Sunday's 31-13 victory over the New York Jets. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said after the game that his running back just had some "knee issues" on the MetLife Stadium turf.
Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Mostert suffered a mild MCL sprain and will undergo further tests.
Mostert did not come out of the locker room with his teammates for the second half. The 49ers later ruled him "out." He finished the game with 92 yards and a score on eight carries while adding two catches for 15 receiving yards.

Kwon Alexander could be the latest San Francisco 49ers player sidelined. On Monday, head coach Kyle Shanahan revealed that the linebacker suffered a "possible" high-ankle sprain on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins. That doesn't necessarily mean injured reserve just yet, though, as the injury's severity hasn't been determined.
Alexander played 66 of the 67 total snaps on defense against the Dolphins.
"We could be wrong, but right now, they told me that they believe it's a high-ankle sprain," Shanahan told reporters. "They're not sure of the severity of it. It could be a minor one, for whatever that means. If it's automatic high-ankle sprain, I'd be talking about IR and stuff right now. But they told me to hold on that because they think it possibly could be a

Did you know the San Francisco 49ers are the only team with two running backs who have over 100 receiving yards this season?

The 49ers' duo of Raheem Mostert and Jerick McKinnon came in sixth on Clay's list, behind the Minnesota Vikings, New Orleans Saints, Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, and Denver Broncos.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is working his way back from an ankle injury. According to head coach Kyle Shanahan, he will practice with his teammates this afternoon but be limited.
Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean that Garoppolo will play on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins.
"The fact that he's coming out today and getting a little more reps, it has (made me more optimistic)," Shanahan said. "I haven't seen him yet. I mean, he did a good job in walk-through, and we'll see how he goes. We're going to throw him in there today, and that will give me more of an opinion, at least."
Garoppolo has missed the last two games after sustaining his injury during Week 2 against the New York Jets.
