According to his agent, Brett Tessler, San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert is recovering well from the knee surgery he underwent in October.
Mostert's injury occurred during Week 1 of the 2021 season. The initial prognosis had the running back missing about eight weeks, providing hope that he would return that season. However, Mostert later announced that he opted for surgery, ending his 2021 campaign.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Mostert underwent tests this week with Dr. Daniel Cooper, a sports medicine physician in Texas. Cooper says the running back is fully recovering and will be ready to play during the 2022 season.
"Dr. Cooper said that in six years of doing this procedure on NFL players, this is the best recovery he's seen and there's no reason to believe Raheem won't be fully healthy and ready to go," Tessler said via Schefter.
Mostert is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent next week. The 2022 season will be Mostert's eighth in the NFL. The 49ers signed the running back on November 28, 2016, and he has since amassed 1,610 rushing yards, 361 receiving yards, 11 rushing touchdowns, and three receiving touchdowns through 46 games and nine starts with the Bay Area squad.
Update: Mostert reacted to the report, saying, "Still working!"

Rapoport: 49ers send clear message to teams inquiring about Brandon Aiyuk
Ian Rapoport didn't offer much of an update on the ongoing contract negotiations between the San Francisco 49ers and their standout wide receiver, Brandon Aiyuk. However, the NFL insider emphasized one thing: The team is not entertaining trade discussions at this juncture.
Reacting to Aiyuk's decision to unfollow the 49ers on Instagram, Rapoport couldn't help but chuckle at the latest development. This practice has become commonplace among players who are unhappy with their contract situations. Wide receiver Deebo Samuel similarly took this action in 2022 before requesting to be traded just before the draft.
Things have yet to escalate that far with Aiyuk, but Rapoport sees his
