Tyler Fulghum has voiced his confidence in the San Francisco 49ers as they prepare to face the Los Angeles Rams in their vital Week 15 matchup. The stakes are high for the 49ers, who currently sit at 6-7 and need a victory to maintain their playoff aspirations.
One noteworthy development for the 49ers is the active status of running back Isaac Guerendo, who is returning from a sprained foot. Despite being listed as questionable, Guerendo stated that he “feels good,” as confirmed by sources. His performance in the previous game against the Chicago Bears, where he achieved 78 rushing yards and two touchdowns along with two receptions for 50 yards, has established him as a key player in the absence of Christian McCaffrey, Elijah Mitchell, and Jordan Mason due to injuries.
Additionally, the 49ers welcomed back linebacker Dre Greenlaw, who was activated off the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list. This marks his return after recovering from a torn Achilles suffered during the last Super Bowl. Defensive end Nick Bosa is also active for the clash, despite having missed the last three games due to injuries, which adds further strength to the 49ers’ defense.
However, the team faces challenges with significant injuries, including the absence of left tackle Trent Williams and safety Malik Mustapha, both ruled out in advance of the game. Guard Ben Bartch was also placed on injured reserve just before the matchup.
In light of Guerendo’s impressive debut, he has made his mark in the 49ers’ history by becoming the fourth player in franchise history to achieve over 100 scrimmage yards and at least two touchdowns in his first start, joining notable players such as Carlos Hyde, Earl Cooper, and Hugh McElhenny.
The 49ers will be looking to leverage their returning players and Guerendo’s promising performance to spark a victory against the Rams, reigniting their playoff hopes and building momentum for the remainder of the season.
