Tyler Fulghum has expressed confidence in the San Francisco 49ers for their upcoming Week 15 clash against the Los Angeles Rams. Despite his sprained foot, running back Isaac Guerendo is set to play in the game. Guerendo, who was deemed questionable leading up to the match, reported feeling good, according to sources.
Additionally, linebacker Dre Greenlaw has been activated off the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list, marking his return after suffering a torn Achilles during last season’s Super Bowl. Defensive end Nick Bosa is also back in the lineup after missing the last three games due to hip and oblique injuries.
Currently at a record of 6-7, the 49ers are in a critical position, needing a victory to improve their chances of making the playoffs. However, they will be without left tackle Trent Williams, safety Malik Mustapha, and guard Ben Bartch, who has been placed on injured reserve.
Guerendo has stepped up as the starting running back due to injuries to Christian McCaffrey, Elijah Mitchell, and Jordan Mason. He made an impressive debut last week with 78 rushing yards and two touchdowns, along with 50 receiving yards, before his foot injury limited his practice earlier this week. If Guerendo is not fully fit, Patrick Taylor Jr. will likely take over the running back duties, with practice squad options available as backups.
In his first start, Guerendo made history by becoming the fourth player in 49ers franchise history to achieve 100 or more scrimmage yards and two touchdowns, joining notable names from the team’s rich history.
This matchup presents a crucial opportunity for the 49ers and highlights the resilience of key players stepping up during challenging times. Fans can look forward to an exciting game as the team fights for their playoff hopes.
Summary: The 49ers, fighting for a playoff spot, are seeing key players return to the lineup, including running back Isaac Guerendo, who had a notable performance in his recent start. Despite injuries to some key players, the team’s prospects remain hopeful as they prepare to face the Rams.
