49ers Sign RB Jeff Wilson Amid Multiple Running Back Injuries

The San Francisco 49ers have re-signed running back Jeff Wilson Jr. to bolster their injury-depleted backfield. Wilson, who began his NFL career with the 49ers as an undrafted free agent in 2018, spent the last 2.5 seasons with the Miami Dolphins before returning to San Francisco. The move follows injuries to key backs Ameer Abdullah, Isaac Guerendo, and Jordan James, leaving limited depth behind starter Christian McCaffrey. Wilson brings familiarity with Kyle Shanahan's system and veteran experience, having rushed for 1,733 yards and 19 total touchdowns during his first stint with the 49ers. Alongside Wilson, the team also signed veteran running back Ke’Shawn Vaughn to further address the depleted position group. Wilson's return offers the 49ers a seasoned option as they prepare for upcoming preseason games and the regular season.
