Guerendo is not participating in OTAs due to a torn pectoral, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

The running back suffered the injury while lifting "about a month ago," per David Lombardi of SFStandard.com. Guerendo is expected back near the end of training camp, though he did already undergo surgery, per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com. The 2024 fourth-round pick did not receive a single carry in 2025 despite appearing in 14 regular-season games.

Cowing (hamstring) is participating in the 49ers' OTAs, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

The wide receiver is not only participating, but he apparently looks good, per Maiocco, who called him a standout during Thursday's session, and David Lombardi of SFStandard.com, who reported that coach Kyle Shanahan said he was impressed that Cowing was in such good shape. The 2024 fourth-round pick missed the 2025 campaign with a hamstring injury that he suffered in late August.

Jefferson signed with the 49ers on Thursday.

The running back played in two regular-season games for the Cardinals last year and a total of nine across the previous four regular seasons with the Lions. San Francisco's running back depth chart is led by Christian McCaffrey, Jordan James and Kaelon Black.

San Francisco signed Mims to a one-year contract Thursday.

Mims will now go to work with his third different team in as many years after spending the vast majority of last season on Tennessee's practice squad. While the 49ers' options at running back behind Christian McCaffrey are all unproven, 2025 fifth-rounder Jordan James, rookie third-rounder Kaelon Black and 2024 fourth-rounder Isaac Guerendo (pectoral) are all working with an advantage over Mims in terms of draft capital.

Jennings (hamstring) is participating during the Patriots' OTAs, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Jennings was a scratch for the Super Bowl back in February because of a hamstring issue, but he is now doing drills alongside fellow RBs Rhamondre Stevenson and 2025 second-rounder TreVeyon Henderson. Stevenson and Henderson are essentially locked in as New England's final 53-man roster for 2026, leaving Jennings to compete with rookie seventh-rounder Jam Miller, Lan Larison and Myles Montgomery for whatever backfield work is left over.

Wilson (knee) is participating in organized team activities, Glenn Erby of Eagles Wire reports.

The wide receiver suffered a season-ending knee injury in August of last year. Wilson is not only back for OTAs, but receiving some first-team reps ahead of Hollywood Brown and Elijah Moore, per Erby. The 2024 sixth-round pick caught five passes for 38 yards and a score as a rookie.

Rattler (finger) is participating during the Saints' OTAs, John Sigler of USA Today reports.

Rattler was inactive for New Orleans' season finale at Atlanta back in January due to a finger injury, but it doesn't seem to be an issue for him any longer. He'll be competing with Zach Wilson for the backup quarterback spot behind 2025 second-rounder Tyler Shough in 2026.

Larison (foot) is participating in OTAs, Sophie Weller of Patriots Wire reports.

The running back suffered a season-ending foot injury during an August preseason game last year, but he appears to be healthy now. Per Weller, at this stage of the offseason, Larison seems to be leading the competition for the third running back spot behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson. Jam Miller, Myles Montgomery and Terrell Jennings are also part of that competition.

Jordan is progressing in his rehab from the torn patellar tendon he suffered during training camp last year, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Mandatory practices still haven't started up yet for the new year, so there's no reason for Houston to rush Jordan back into action. The Texans signed Foster Moreau in free agency and added second-rounder Marlin Klein in the 2026 NFL Draft, so Jordan's place on their 53-man roster is far from guaranteed at this point.

Duck (knee) will not be able to participate in full during OTAs, C Isaiah Smalls II of The Miami Herald reports.

The cornerback suffered a season-ending knee injury in an October regular-season game last year against the Falcons. While he's clearly still dealing with the issue, the fact that he's able to participate at all might be a step in the right direction ahead of training camp. Duck has started four of the 16 games he's played in across two NFL seasons.
