We will have to wait another week to see the 49ers' offense at total capacity. Starting running back, Elijah Mitchell was ruled out with a knee injury. I’m curious whether Mitchell would have played had the Niners Week 16 matchup been played on a Sunday.
Jeff Wilson will start in Mitchell’s place. Wilson found the end zone for the first time against the Falcons and also eclipsed 100 yards. There’s a chance Trey Sermon plays. The 49ers opened Sermon’s practice window Tuesday. The team has three open spots on their active roster, so there wouldn’t have to be a corresponding move for Sermon.
