Jordan James suffered a rib fracture in Monday’s practice and will miss some time, per @​nwagoner

#49ers RB Jordan James suffered a rib fracture in Monday’s practice. He will miss some time. S Malik Mustapha has a hamstring strain. Neither practicing today, obviously.

The 49ers injuries during training camp Ricky Pearsall (knee) Jordan James (ribs) Malik Mustapha (hamstring) Christian Kirk (calf) Gracen Halton (knee) Andrew Farmer (back) Vederian Lowe (ankle) Kyle Shanahan (concussion)

Jordan James - rib At minimum he likely misses 2-3 weeks but rarely do players miss more than 5 weeks. Plenty of time to get back prior to Week 1 [Quoted](

Jordan James was clearly the RB2 behind Christian McCaffrey He had one cut that was so nasty — he cooked the DBs ankles so bad it took him to the turf James has the potential to carve out a nice role for himself

Lots of great 49ers updates in here and more I’ve seen sprinkled throughout various reports: 1) Ricky Pearsall practiced in full - good to hear he’s healthy 2) Mike Evans had a few nice plays - we just need to keep hearing that he’s healthy and looks like himself 3) Jordan James is clearly ahead of Kaelon Black right now 4) De’Zhaun Stribling also looked solid today from reports - could be big w/ Christian Kirk’s potential injury

Referencing the 49ers RB2 competition: Jordan James has to hold off Kaelon Black 49ers had Kaelon Black as RB2 in the class Still a training camp battle - I’m choosing James, which I discussed why in my Tight Ten

49ers insiders somewhat flag planting Jordan James (speculation) as the RB2 and spell back for CMC They call him a multiple back (contribute in run/pass) - something the 49ers talked about in terms of what they’re looking for from backup RBs

What would you do different? I struggled with when I took the ADP value for a player I like (Parker Washingto) vs shoring up RB Knew I had Dobbins (someone jumped ADP for him), Gainwell, etc later Going back to my Y2 RB post, I’m choosing Jordan James as the RB2 right now

14-team PPR league. Had the No. 12 pick. Love everything except the RBs, but I’ll make it work. Took shots on high-upside handcuffs. Thoughts? QB: Herbert RB: Walker, Stevenson, Tracy, Lloyd, Jordan James, Ray Davis, Holani WR: Lamb, Rice, Tee, Godwin, Nailor TE: LaPorta

“If the 49ers truly were optimistic about Jordan James, they wouldn’t have taken Kaelon Black in Round 3. Black is two years older than James and will have every opportunity to be McCaffrey's main backup. That being said, the 49ers rarely take McCaffrey off the field, so neither Black nor James will play much while McCaffrey is healthy. If McCaffrey goes down, Black and James probably will split carries. That's what they did in college.”
