Josina Anderson reports that the San Francisco 49ers are among the teams that made preliminary inquiries about Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack over the last few weeks. The other teams mentioned are the Kansas City Chiefs, Carolina Panthers, and New Orleans Saints.
Mack's role has been reduced due to the presence of Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines. Last month, Mack and the Colts mutually agreed to seek a trade as the fifth-year back looks to own a more significant role with a team.
Mack rushed for 1,091 yards and eight rushing touchdowns for the Colts in 2019 and had 908 rushing yards and nine rushing touchdowns a season earlier. His 2020 campaign ended early after the running back landed on injured reserve due to a torn Achilles.
Mack has just 25 carries for 97 yards through four games this season.
San Francisco lost its starting running back, Raheem Mostert, for the remainder of the season due to a knee injury. The team drafted two running backs — Trey Sermon and
Elijah Mitchell — in April.
The 49ers opened the practice window for running back JaMycal Hasty this week. He is expected to be activated from injured reserve soon, possibly before Sunday's matchup against the Colts.

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

7-round mock draft from The Athletic sees 49ers fortifying defense early
Analyst Dane Brugler recently revealed his seven-round mock draft for The Athletic, forecasting all 257 selections in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft, set to kick off next week.
"Piecing together a mock like this is time consuming, but I enjoy the exercise, because it allows me to focus on each team's needs, organizational trends and prospect-team pairings that make sense based on '30' visits, league buzz and overall interest," Brugler wrote.
Most expect the 49ers to address the trenches early in the draft, and Brugler has the team doing that. It's just not on the offensive side of the football. In fact, Brugler doesn't have San Francisco
