San Francisco 49ers running back Isaac Guerend is scheduled to play Thursday night against the Los Angeles Rams despite a sprained foot, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Officials said Gerendo, who is listed as a suspect, insisted he was “feeling fine.”
The 49ers have placed linebacker Dre Greenlaw on injured reserve for his first game back from a torn Achilles tendon suffered during last season’s Super Bowl, sources told ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. It is said that it will be released.
Niners defensive end Nick Bosa (left hip, oblique) is listed as questionable for the NFC West matchup, which the 49ers (6-7) likely need to win to get back into playoff contention. It is mentioned. The Niners on Wednesday ruled out left tackle Trent Williams (left ankle), safety Malik Mustafa (chest, shoulder) and guard Ben Birch (high ankle sprain).

Gerendo accepted the starting running back job following injuries to Christian McCaffrey, Elijah Mitchell and Jordan Mason. He rushed for 78 yards and two touchdowns and had two tipped receptions for 50 yards in Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears before leaving with a foot injury.
The rookie running back did not practice Monday or Tuesday but was upgraded to limited during Wednesday’s walkthrough.
If Gerendo’s spot is limited, Patrick Taylor Jr. is next in line to take the backfield job, with practice team back Ke’Sean Vaughn and recently added Israel Abanikananda also options. It’s available.
Before departing against the Bears, Gelendo etched his name into the 49ers’ record books with a successful first start. He became the fourth player in franchise history to gain 100 or more scrimmage yards and at least 2 in his first start, joining Carlos Hyde (2015), Earl Cooper (1980), and Hugh McElhenney (1952). Achieved a touchdown.
