49ers' Jordan Mason: One carry with CMC back
Jordan Mason (shoulder) had one carry for five yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Buccaneers.Mason was able to recover from a shoulder injury over San Francisco's bye week in order to suit up against Tampa Bay. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, the first-half star was relegated to his usual backup role with Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) making his season debut off of injured reserve. This resulted in Mason assuming his regular low-usage role Sunday, a trend that should continue now that McCaffrey is back atop the depth chart. Mason can safely be dropped in standard formats as we look towards Week 11.

49ers' Jordan Mason: Cleared to face Tampa Bay
Jordan Mason (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Tampa Bay, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.Coming out of a bye week, Mason was a full practice participant Wednesday and Friday, sandwiched around a limited session Thursday. His time as a prime fantasy asset nonetheless seems to be nearing an end, with coach Kyle Shanahan saying Friday that only an unexpected late setback would prevent running back Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) from playing this Sunday. Mason may still get some snaps and touches but won't dominate carries the way he did for much of the past two months.

49ers' Jordan Mason: Limited at practice Thursday
Jordan Mason (shoulder) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.Mason handled every practice rep Wednesday, but the San Francisco 49ers typically go through a more rigorous session Thursday, so his downgrade shouldn't be cause for concern. Indeed, he was seen wearing a non-contact jersey in the latter practice, per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com, indicating the team still is managing his lingering shoulder issue. Both Mason and Christian McCaffrey (IR, Achilles) were limited Thursday, so the situation bears watching to see if McCaffrey finally makes his season debut Sunday in Tampa Bay, or if Mason continues to be San Francisco's lead runner.

49ers' Jordan Mason: Full practice Wednesday
Jordan Mason (shoulder) was a full practice participant Wednesday.Mason initially sprained his left shoulder Week 6 at Seattle, but he paced the backfield Week 7 against the Chiefs before aggravating the issue Week 8 versus the Cowboys. With a bye week to heal up, he's back to full health, but he's also going to be joined in the backfield by Christian McCaffrey (Achilles), perhaps as soon as Sunday's game in Tampa Bay. If that comes to pass, Mason will take a back seat to McCaffrey at running back for the San Francisco 49ers.

49ers' Jordan Mason: Aggravates shoulder injury
Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Jordan Mason aggravated his existing left shoulder sprain in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Cowboys and is viewed as day-to-day, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.Shanahan said Mason could have returned to the game after he went to the locker room just before halftime. Mason, however, never played another snap, as Isaac Guerendo handled backfield duties the rest of the way. With Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) trending toward a return from injured reserve after the San Francisco 49ers' Week 9 bye, Mason's days as San Francisco's lead back appear to be either numbered or over.

49ers' Jordan Mason: Could have played through injury
Coach Kyle Shanahan indicated after Sunday's 30-24 win over the Cowboys that Jordan Mason (shoulder) could have come back into the game if necessary, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports reports.Mason was deemed questionable to return after a first-half shoulder injury. He was never officially ruled out but watched Isaac Guerendo handle 14 carries for 85 yards and a touchdown. Mason will have some extra recovery time with the San Francisco 49ers on bye in Week 9 before traveling to Tampa Bay for Week 10.

49ers' Jordan Mason: Hurts shoulder on SNF
Jordan Mason (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cowboys.Mason stayed down after a first-quarter run, checked back into the game but subsequently went to the locker room after rushing six times for 18 yards. He had been playing through an AC joint sprain in his shoulder that he suffered in Week 6 against the Seahawks, so this is presumably an aggravation of that injury. Isaac Guerendo will lead San Francisco's backfield if Mason's unable to return Sunday.

49ers' Jordan Mason: Cleared to play Sunday
Jordan Mason (shoulder) was a full practice participant Friday and doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.Mason was nursing an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder coming into last week's game against the Chiefs, but it didn't stop him from handling a season-high snap share (86 percent) while finishing with 14 carries for 58 yards and two receptions for 11 yards in the 28-18 loss. Despite seemingly coming out of that game with no setbacks, the San Francisco 49ers have still chose to lighten Mason's practice workload this week, as he was a limited participant Wednesday and Thursday before ditching his blue no-contact jersey and logging full reps Friday, per Matt Barrows of The Athletic. Mason thus looks to be in the clear for another turn as the 49ers' lead back in what could be his final start, as head coach Kyle Shanahan previously said that Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) could be ready to return from injured reserve following San Francisco's Week 9 bye.

49ers' Jordan Mason: Stays limited Thursday
Jordan Mason (shoulder) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.For a second session in a row to begin Week 8 prep, Mason is handling a reduced workload due to a lingering shoulder issue, giving him just one more opportunity to get back to full participation Friday ahead of Sunday's contest against the Cowboys. Assuming he's cleared to play this weekend -- either on Friday's injury report or 90 minutes before an 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff -- he'll serve as the San Francisco 49ers' lead runner for an eighth consecutive game in place of Christian McCaffrey (Achilles), who may return following the team's Week 9 bye.

49ers' Jordan Mason: Limited by ankle Wednesday
Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Jordan Mason will be limited at Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.Mason previously was tending to an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder that he sustained Oct. 10 against the Seahawks, but it didn't stop him from dominating work out of the San Francisco 49ers backfield this past Sunday. In the 49ers' 28-18 loss to the Chiefs, Mason carried 14 times for 58 yards and two catches (on two targets) for 11 yards while logging 86 percent of the snaps on offense. Despite having a new health concern this week, Mason's ability to handle some reps to kick off Week 8 prep is a decent sign that his availability for Sunday's game against the Cowboys isn't in peril. Shanahan said Monday that Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) isn't expected to be available until after the 49ers' Week 9 bye, so Mason is lined up to be the team's primary runner for at least one more contest, assuming he's available this weekend.
