Davis-Price signed with the Eagles' practice squad Wednesday.
Davis-Price failed to make the Eagles' initial 53-man roster despite running for 118 yards on 22 carries throughout Philadelphia's three preseason contests. He's now landed on the Eagles' practice squad and could be elevated if one of Saquon Barkley, Kenneth Gainwell or Will Shipley misses time at some point this season.

Tyrion Davis-Price: Let go by Eagles
Rotowire
Davis-Price was waived by the Eagles on Tuesday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Davis-Price rattled off 118 rushing yards on 22 carries while also returning a kickoff for 26 yards during the preseason with Philadelphia. The running back ultimately didn't do enough to earn a spot on the initial 53-man roster, but if he clears waivers, he'll likely return to the Eagles' practice squad.

Eagles' Tyrion Davis-Price: Gets long look Saturday
Rotowire
Davis-Price carried the ball 12 times for 56 yards in Saturday's 26-3 preseason loss to the Vikings.
The former 49er handled six straight carries to begin the Eagles' opening drive but fumbled the sixth, marring what was otherwise a solid performance in the team's preseason finale. Davis-Price isn't guaranteed a spot on the season-opening roster due to Saquon Barkley, Kenneth Gainwell and Will Shipley all seemingly having locked into jobs, but he could provide some injury insurance on the practice squad.

Rotowire
The Eagles signed Davis-Price to a reserve/future contract Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Davis-Price, a 2022 third-round pick drafted by the 49ers, signed the largest reserve/future contract in the league per his agency Elite Loyalty Sports, which could be notable for his chances of sticking on the roster through the offseason. In his lone cameo for San Francisco last season, Davis-Price carried the ball six times for 21 yards.

Tyrion Davis-Price: Brought back by San Francisco
Rotowire
The 49ers signed Davis-Price to their practice squad Thursday.
Davis-Price was cut by San Francisco just two days ago, but the team has now decided to bring the 2023 third-round pick back on its practice squad. The 23-year-old running back has appeared in only one game for the 49ers this season, logging six carries for 21 yards during the team's Week 5 blowout win over the Cowboys.

Tyrion Davis-Price: Cut from team
Rotowire
Davis-Price was waived by the 49ers on Tuesday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Davis-Price wasn't able to work his way up the team's depth chart and has been a healthy scratch for the majority of the season, seeing action just once this year in Week 5 against the Cowboys. The 2020 third-round selection also saw limited action in his rookie campaign, suiting up only six times. His current tenure in San Francisco will end with 40 carries for 120 yards in seven games played.

49ers' Tyrion Davis-Price: Back on inactive list
Rotowire
Davis-Price (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Browns.
Davis-Price got his first snaps of the season during San Francisco's Week 5 blowout win over Dallas, but he's back on the inactive list with Elijah Mitchell healthy again. Mitchell and Jordan Mason will operate as the primary backups to Christian McCaffrey during Week 6.
Davis-Price (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 2 game against the Rams.
The second-year back remains behind Jordan Mason for the No. 3 running back job, which renders Davis-Price a healthy scratch for the second time in as many games to open the season.

49ers' Tyrion Davis-Price: Earns spot on team
Rotowire
Davis-Price has a spot on San Francisco's initial 53-man roster.
A disappointment last year as a rookie third-round pick, Davis-Price had a better summer this time around and ultimately convinced the 49ers to keep four running backs. His position on the team is somewhat tenuous, as the Niners could swap him out for a player at another position if fellow running back Jordan Mason is quick to recover from a foot sprain. Either way, Christian McCaffrey and Elijah Mitchell figure to take nearly all the RB snaps Week 1 at Pittsburgh.

49ers' Tyrion Davis-Price: Makes final case for roster spot
Rotowire
Davis-Price took 10 carries for 61 yards and caught two of three targets for 16 yards in Friday's 23-12 preseason loss to the Chargers.
Jordan Mason dominated playing time with the first-team offense even after losing a fumble at the goal line on the opening drive, ultimately recording 10 touches for 72 yards across his two series. The miscue was a big one, of course, and Davis-Price then dominated backfield work with the second-string offense. The Niners might keep both on their initial 53-man roster, but it's not a guarantee, so Davis-Price (or Mason) could end up on the practice squad or with another team instead.
Davis-Price started and gained 29 yards on nine carries (no targets) in Sunday's 34-7 preseason loss to Las Vegas.
Davis-Price got the start over projected third-stringer Jordan Mason in a notable lineup change by head coach Kyle Shanahan. Neither back was able to do much behind an offensive line that was not in sync Sunday. Perhaps the coaching staff wanted to see Davis-Price face the Raiders' starting defense. Whatever the reason may be, expect the second-year back to see plenty of action against the Broncos on Saturday.

49ers' Tyrion Davis-Price: Sitting out Saturday
Rotowire
Davis-Price (coach's decision) is inactive for Saturday's wild-card game against the Seahawks, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.
Davis-Price was active for the final three contests of the regular season and got some run on each occasion, managing 62 yards on 18 rushes (3.4 YPC) and going without a target. But now that the 49ers are in the playoffs, they'll tighten up the backfield, with Christian McCaffrey, Elijah Mitchell and Jordan Mason the available options Saturday and practice-squad call-up Tevin Coleman also inactive.

49ers' Tyrion Davis-Price: Disappoints in rookie campaign
Rotowire
Davis-Price played eight snaps in Sunday's win over the Cardinals, carrying eight times for 27 yards.
Davis-Price saw action in only six games during his rookie season and finished with a lowly 2.9 yards-per-carry average on 34 totes while failing to find the end zone and going without a target in the passing game. The LSU product had an opportunity to earn significant playing time following starter Elijah Mitchell's Week 1 injury, but he ultimately fell behind undrafted rookie Jordan Mason and practice-squad veteran Tevin Coleman on the depth chart at multiple points throughout the season. Davis-Price didn't show enough as a pure runner in limited opportunities, and he was
a non-factor in the passing game. Much like 2021 third-round pick Trey Sermon, Davis-Price may find himself on the roster bubble heading into training camp in 2023 after an uninspiring rookie season.

49ers' Tyrion Davis-Price: Gets one carry in overtime win
Rotowire
Davis-Price rushed once for five yards and was not targeted in Sunday's 37-34 overtime win over Las Vegas.
Davis-Price reverted back to third on the running back depth chart as expected after Jordan Mason (hamstring) was limited by injury Week 16. Both rookie backups logged equal snaps on offense (five), but it was Mason who performed better in a limited role (2-13-1). While Davis-Price remains a non-factor in fantasy, he could see a few touches in the last game of the regular season if the team opts to limit Christian McCaffrey's (ankle) snaps ahead of the playoffs.

49ers' Tyrion Davis-Price: Could fall back to No. 3 RB role
Rotowire
Jordan Mason is doing better with his tight hamstring, per David Lombardi of The Athletic, which could result in him resuming backup RB duties while Davis-Price reverts to the third-back role.
Davis-Price surprisingly worked as San Francisco's No. 2 back behind Christian McCaffrey against the Commanders on Saturday, and he tallied 30 yards on nine carries. The rookie's elevated role was likely due to Jordan Mason dealing with a hamstring injury and being limited to work on special teams. Now that Mason has improved, he's expected to jump back over Davis-Price on the RB hierarchy. Mason has been quite effective lately, racking up 171 rushing yards on 23 carries between Weeks 13 and 15.

49ers' Tyrion Davis-Price: Unexpected role elevation
Rotowire
Davis-Price rushed nine times for 30 yards in Saturday's 37-20 win over the Commanders.
Davis-Price was elevated to the No. 2 spot on the running back depth chart despite being kept as a healthy scratch in recent weeks. Regular backup Jordan Mason missed practice with a tight hamstring, perhaps leading to the unexpected game plan change in Week 16. If head coach Kyle Shanahan decides to stick with TDP as his change-of-pace back against Las Vegas next Sunday, he could provide value as a cheap flier in DFS formats.
