The 49ers running back depth chart has gotten a couple of significant shake ups over the last couple weeks. The addition of Christian McCaffrey changed the hierarchy in the backfield. Then the trade of Jeff Wilson Jr. to the Dolphins changed the order again.
With McCaffrey and Elijah Mitchell’s injury histories, the players sitting behind them on the depth chart could become important down the stretch. Mitchell has been on IR since he suffered an MCL sprain in the season opener against the Bears. He’s expected to return after the bye week.
