Stevenson (foot) wasn't spotted during the initial portion of Friday's practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Stevenson didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, so his continued absence is concerning ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans. Per Reiss, coach Jerod Mayo noted that Stevenson's foot injury isn't viewed as a long-term concern, but if the running back is out this weekend, Antonio Gibson would be in line for the Week 6 start, with JaMycal Hasty in reserve and practice-squad members Terrell Jennings and Kevin Harris candidates for elevation.

Mason is believed to have suffered a sprained AC joint in his left shoulder during Thursday's 36-24 win over the Seahawks but will undergo further testing Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Mason exited Thursday's game in the second quarter, returned for one play after halftime, and then missed the rest of the game. Isaac Guerendo filled in as San Francisco's lead back and iced the game with a 76-yard run in the closing minutes, with Patrick Taylor also taking on some work (five carries, one catch) in Mason's absence. Meanwhile, the 49ers hope to get Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) back at some point within the next few games, although it's not clear if he has any chance to be ready for a Week 7 matchup with the Chiefs on Oct. 20.

Robinson (knee) doesn't appear to be practicing Friday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

A third straight missed practice suggests he's unlikely to play Sunday at Baltimore. Robinson played through the same injury last week and scored a pair of first-half touchdowns, but he seemed to aggravate his knee along the way and was held out after halftime, leaving Austin Ekeler and Jeremy McNichols in charge of Washington's backfield in a 34-13 win over Cleveland.

Charbonnet rushed five times for 20 yards and caught his lone target for 15 yards in Thursday's 36-24 loss to the 49ers.

Kenneth Walker remained the clear No. 1 option in the Seahawks backfield, as Charbonnet's fellow running back recorded 14 carries and eight catches (on eight targets) for a combined 69 yards. Charbonnet won't be a dependable fantasy option as long as Walker is healthy, but he should have some deep-league appeal in favorable matchups.

Guerendo rushed 10 times for 99 yards in the 49ers' 36-24 win over the Seahawks on Thursday night.

The rookie saw the most robust volume of his young career in the victory, as Jordan Mason's multiple exits from the game due to a shoulder injury left Guerendo as the lead back for all but one play in the second half. Guerendo had scuffled to just 23 yards on nine carries when he took the handoff on the opening play of the 49ers' final possession, a play on which he broke off a 76-yard run up the right side of the field that he nearly scored on. The rookie fourth-round pick was caught from behind but made sure his momentum didn't carry him into the end zone as he went down, forcing the Seahawks to burn two timeouts before Kyle Juszczyk scored a game-sealing six-yard touchdown. San Francisco has 10 days before a Super Bowl rematch with the Chiefs on Sunday, Oct. 20, but if neither Mason nor Christian McCaffrey (Achilles/calf) is able to suit up for that contest, Guerendo would be in line to serve as San Francisco's No. 1 back for that marquee battle.

Coach Kyle Shanahan didn't offer an update on Mason's (shoulder) status following Thursday's 36-24 win over Seattle, Grant Gordon of NFL.com reports.

Mason suffered a shoulder injury on a run midway through the second quarter. He returned for one carry to begin the second half but then was forced back to the sideline due to the pain and did not reenter the contest. Shanahan didn't rule out a significant injury but said the team will have more information Friday.

Walker rushed 14 times for 32 yards and a touchdown and secured all eight targets for 37 yards in the Seahawks' 36-24 loss to the 49ers on Thursday night.

Walker's highly inefficient work on the ground was partly offset by his one-yard scoring run late in the third quarter and his second straight very busy game as a receiver. The third-year back's reception total was a new career high, besting the seven catches he'd just recorded in a Week 5 loss to the Giants. Walker's rushing struggles are a concern heading into a Week 7 road matchup against the Falcons on Sunday, Oct. 20, as he's now gained just 51 yards on 19 carries over his last pair of contests.

Mason was able to return for only one play in the second half before being sidelined again with a left shoulder injury, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Mason was sidelined for a significant portion of the second quarter while having his shoulder evaluated. He returned for one carry to begin the second half but has since been sidelined for two 49ers' possessions. Mason doesn't have an official injury designation and has his helmet on while standing on the sideline, so it is possible he could return to the game again.

Mason (shoulder) returned to the field to begin the second half of Thursday's game against Seattle, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Mason was forced to the locker room midway through the second quarter with a shoulder injury. He didn't return to the field before halftime but logged the 49ers' first carry of the second half.

Mason is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Seahawks due to a shoulder injury, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Mason walked off the field with trainers after a 14-yard run midway through the second quarter. The severity of the issue isn't clear, but Isaac Guerendo will take over as the 49ers' lead back while Mason is sidelined. After being evaluated in the locker room, Mason was spotted on the sideline with his helmet, per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com.
