49ers' Jordan James: Could be headed for No. 2 RB role
James "seems the most likely" of San Francisco's running backs behind Christian McCaffrey to earn the No. 2 role for the upcoming campaign, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Brian Robinson served as San Francisco's No. 2 back last season, but he's since joined Atlanta. That leaves James, Isaac Guerendo, rookie Kaelon Black, Patrick Taylor and Sincere McCormick to battle for position behind McCaffrey, who led the NFL with 413 regular-season touches last year. The 49ers may want to reduce McCaffrey's workload in 2026, but that could hinge on whether a reliable No. 2 back emerges from the above-mentioned group. Wagoner suggests that James has an inside track on the job based partly on his strong play during garbage time in the 49ers' blowout loss to Seattle in the NFC divisional round, when he rushed six times for 28 yards and caught his lone target for seven yards. That's a very small sample size and is far from a guarantee that James -- who didn't play until Week 16 last year -- will take hold of top backup role, though it's worth noting that Guerendo, who may be James' biggest competition for the job, appeared in 14 regular-season games in 2025 but didn't log a single snap on offense.

49ers' Jordan James: Gets some late run on ST
James did not record a touch while appearing in three games for the 49ers in 2025.
The rookie fifth-round pick was a healthy scratch for the first 14 weeks of the regular season before being activated on special teams for the final three contests. The 49ers only deploy their top two running backs on offense, so all three of James' appearances were limited to kick coverage in 2025. James will have to prove his worth in training camp as a sophomore next season in order to return as a depth piece behind star RB Christian McCaffrey.

49ers' Jordan James: No run on offense in Week 17
James played just two snaps -- both on special teams -- in Sunday's 42-38 win over the Bears.
After he was inactive for each of the 49ers' first 14 games, James suited up in Week 16 as the 49ers' No. 3 running back over Isaac Guerendo. The rookie fifth-round pick out of Oregon played just three snaps on offense in the 21-point win over the Colts, and with Sunday's contest proving to be more competitive, James disappeared from the game plan entirely. James could once again get the nod over Guerendo in Saturday's regular-season finale versus the Seahawks, but with the NFC West title on the line, expect Christian McCaffrey (back) and Brian Robinson to handle all of the available snaps at running back.

The 49ers will once again roll with a three-man backfield of Christian McCaffrey, Brian Robinson and Isaac Guerendo for Thursday's NFC West bout. James' next chance to make his NFL regular-season debut is Week 6 against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Oct. 12, though he's unlikely to play in that game unless McCaffrey, Robinson or Guerendo were to miss time.

49ers' Jordan James: Healthy scratch vs. NOLA
James (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Saints, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports.
The rookie fifth-rounder broke his finger in early August and was not cleared to play against the Seahawks in Week 1. James was able to fade an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game after logging a full practice Friday, but he'll observe the contest in street clothes while the 49ers roll with a three-man backfield of Brian Robinson, Isaac Guerendo and starter Christian McCaffrey. James' next chance to make his NFL regular-season debut is Week 3 against the Cardinals on Sunday, Sept. 21.

49ers' Jordan James: Good to go for Week 2
James (finger) doesn't have an injury designation heading into Sunday's Week 2 contest against the Saints, Noah Furtado of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
James suffered a broken finger in early August and didn't suit up Week 1 against Seattle. However, the rookie running back logged an LP/LP/FP progression in practice this week and wasn't given an injury designation heading into the weekend. Though that means James could make his NFL debut Sunday, he may see limited or no work on offense as SF's No. 4 running back behind Christian McCaffrey, Brian Robinson and Isaac Guerendo.

49ers' Jordan James: Tracking to play Week 2
James (finger) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.
The rookie fifth-rounder was not cleared to play against Seattle in Week 1 due to a broken finger that he suffered in early August. He has opened the week with back-to-back limited practices, but 49ers' general manager John Lynch relayed Thursday that James will be "ready to go" against the Saints on Sunday, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports. If he is cleared to make his NFL regular-season debut, James would likely struggle to see backfield snaps as the 49ers' RB4 behind Christian McCaffrey, Brian Robinson and Isaac Guerendo.
