Mason (ankle) was officially placed on injured reserve Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. It was announced earlier in the week Mason would be placed on injured reserve, but the team waited to officially make that move until the end of the week. Isaac Guerendo will get the first crack at filling in for both Mason and Christian McCaffrey (knee), who was also placed on injured reserve following his Week 13 injury, but pass-catching specialist Patrick Taylor also figures to have some role too. San Francisco plucked a couple of known names to at minimum operate as depth given the myriad of injuries to its running backs, with Israel Abanikanda and practice-squad callup Ke'Shawn Vaughn joining the team earlier this week.

Mason (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears. In the wake of the 49ers' Week 13 loss at Buffalo, the 49ers lost their top two running backs for the foreseeable future: Christian McCaffrey suffered a PCL injury in his right knee and was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, while Mason was expected to join him on IR due to a high-ankle sprain. The transaction for Mason has yet to be made but likely will happen by Saturday afternoon. With both players out Sunday, Isaac Guerendo is in line to lead San Francisco's backfield, while Patrick Taylor, Israel Abanikanda and practice-squad member Ke'Shawn Vaughn are the candidates to fill in behind him.

Mason (ankle) did not practice Wednesday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports. Head coach Kyle Shanahan previously said Monday that Mason is headed to injured reserve due to the high-ankle sprain he suffered late in Sunday's 35-10 loss to the Bills. While the transaction has yet to be made, Shanahan reiterated Wednesday that a trip to IR is still likely for Mason, according to David Lombardi of SFStandard.com. The 49ers are set to move forward with a backfield led by rookie Isaac Guerendo, with waiver pickup Israel Abanikanda offering a depth option behind him. The 49ers are also likely to elevate one or both of Patrick Taylor and Ke'Shawn Vaughn from the practice squad ahead of this Sunday's game against the Bears.

The 49ers are expected to place Mason on injured reserve this week after he suffered a high-ankle sprain late in Sunday's 35-10 loss to the Bills, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports. After Christian McCaffrey suffered a PCL injury to his right knee in the first half, Mason took on a larger offensive role versus Buffalo, finishing with 13 carries for 78 yards. Though he would have been in position to lead the San Francisco backfield for the rest of the season with McCaffrey's injury expected to require a six-week recovery, Mason is instead on track to join McCaffrey and IR and won't be eligible for activation until Week 18. With Mason and McCaffrey set to miss time, rookie Isaac Guerendo is now in line to take over as the 49ers' lead back beginning with this Sunday's game against the Bears. Patrick Taylor likely will be promoted from the practice squad to serve as the Niners' backup running back over the next month.

Mason took 13 carries for 78 yards and received no targets in Sunday's 35-10 loss to Buffalo. Mason saw a spike in carries in Sunday's blowout loss after starter Christian McCaffrey (knee) limped off the field at halftime and did not return. The capable backup looked the part in a run-heavy game plan dictated by snowy conditions. McCaffrey's status will be clarified as the practice week progresses, but savvy fantasy managers should already be putting claims in for Mason after the work he put in as fill-in starter earlier this year. It is worth mentioning that Mason also left Sunday's contest to be evaluated for a concussion, but he was subsequently cleared and finished without issue, according to 49ers team reporter Lindsey Lares.
