San Francisco 49ers running back Jordan Mason is scheduled for testing to determine the severity of the shoulder injury that kept him out of Thursday’s win at Seattle.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Mason, with an NFL-leading 114 carries and 609 rushing yards, was acting as a fill-in for injured starter Christian McCaffrey, undergoing X-rays Thursday after suffering a concussion on his eighth carry. Was done. He tried to return to the game but Shanahan said Mason felt too much pain.
“He thought he’d be OK,” Shanahan said of Mason, who finished with 73 yards on nine rushes. “He went back in and it hurt him a lot, so he went out.
“I mean, the adrenaline is a little different during games. We’ll find out more (Friday) when we get (tested) and get X-rays and stuff.”
McCaffrey has not played this season due to an Achilles injury and his return date has not been publicly discussed by the 49ers. Isaac Guerando stepped into the lead role, ousting Mason.
Guerredo had 99 yards on 10 carries in the 36–24 win over the Seahawks, including a game-sealing 76-yard run late in the fourth quarter. Guerendo has a track and wide receiver background and played collegiately at Wisconsin and Louisville.
