49ers continue to play musical chairs at running back after releasing Jordan Mims

Sincere McCormick Jordan Mims Christian McCaffrey

The San Francisco 49ers continue to churn the bottom of their roster. The team’s cancellation of this week’s mandatory minicamp has not prevented them from making moves. The 49ers signed running back Sincere McCormick for what feels like the 17th time. To make room for McCormick, running back Jordan Mims was waived. Mims was signed on May 28 . McCormick has been in the NFL since 2022, when he signed with the Las Vegas Raiders as an undrafted free agent. He was on the Raiders roster through the 2024 season. Since then, he’s had stints with the 49ers, Cardinals, Broncos, and Vikings, appearing in five games during that stretch. He was also on each team’s practice squad before signing with San Francisco on April 28 and being released for Mims on May 28. The 49ers’ stable of running backs consists of Christian McCaffrey , Jordan James , and Kaelon Black. That’s who we can expect to get the brunt of the workload for this upcoming season. Guerendo’s roster spot is in jeopardy, especially with veteran Patrick Taylor’s ability to cover kicks and contribute on special teams — an area where Guerendo was demoted

Jordan Mims Christian McCaffrey Jermar Jefferson

The 49ers have made an addition to their offensive backfield. The agents for running back Jordan Mims announced that their client has agreed to a deal with the NFC West club. Mims appeared in one game for the Titans in 2025. Mims initially signed with the Bills after going undrafted in 2023 and moved on to the Saints to make his regular season debut. He played two games as a rookie and 11 games the next season. He has 20 carries for 71 yards and 12 catches for 71 yards for his career. Christian McCaffrey is the lead back for the 49ers. Jordan James, Isaac Guerendo, Patrick Taylor, Sincere McCormick, and third-round pick Kaelon Black are the other backs. UPDATE 4:35 p.m. ET : The NFL’s daily transaction wire shows that the 49ers also signed running back Jermar Jefferson. They waived McCormick and placed defensive back Darrick Forrest on injured reserve

Isaac Guerendo Buried on Depth Chart, Looking for New Team?

sleeper-rotoballerMay 5, 2026, 9:37 AM+3 stories · 30dSource ↗

Isaac Guerendo Christian McCaffrey Kaelon Black

The Athletic's Vic Tafur writes that San Francisco 49ers running back Isaac Guerendo, who was a fourth-round pick in 2024, "seems like he is buried" and will be "looking for a new team." The 49ers say that they will be looking to give Christian McCaffrey fewer touches in 2026, which is why they drafted rookie Kaelon Black in the third round. The Niners also have Jordan James, Patrick Taylor Jr., and Sincere McCormick in their RB room, leaving little playing time left for Guerendo. Black is expected to compete with James for the No. 2 role, so the 25-year-old Guerendo figures to be the RB4 in San Fran right now, at best. Guerendo carried the ball 84 times for 420 yards (5.0 yards per carry) and four touchdowns while adding 15 receptions for 152 yards through the air in 16 regular-season games (three starts), but he didn't see a single carry in 14 regular-season contests in Year 2 in 2025. He appears to be the odd-man out, making him a cut candidate in dynasty/keeper leagues going into the 2026 campaign
