E. Jai Mason - 228 yards receiving in win Mason gathered in all 10 targets for 228 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 42-35 victory over Monmouth.
Impact Mason had a career day Saturday, accounting for almost 60 percent of the 49ers' passing offense. The Samford transfer only had 56 yards on the season coming into the game, and he may have found a connection with quarterback Conner Harrell in an offense that finally started to find its rhythm this week.

The freshman took advantage of his opportunity, recording career highs in yards and carries while scoring his first collegiate touchdown. It will be interesting to see if he will maintain a high volume of carries in the coming weeks.

Sean Brown - Dealing with contusion Brown (bruise) is dealing with a contusion and missed practice Tuesday, per Hunter Bailey of The Charlotte Observer.
Impact Brown has had a quiet start to his season, reeling in one grab for 12 yards in Week 1 and one grab for 17 yards in Week 2. He's battling a contusion that's holding him out of practice, but it's unclear how serious the ailment is. If Brown is indeed able to suit up Saturday versus Monmouth, he'll look to get more involved in the passing game.

Henry Rutledge - Waiting for lower-body MRI Rutledge has a lower-body injury and is awaiting an MRI, Hunter Bailey of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Impact It is unknown whether or not Rutledge re-injured his lower leg, which temporarily affected his Week 2 availability, or suffered a new injury around the same area. Regardless, his injury status is back to questionable as he awaits for an MRI and a subsequent result. Ideally for Rutledge, it yields a positive result, so he can re-focus on the 2025 season.

Javen Nicholas - 122 yards in loss Nicholas reeled in 11 of 13 targets for 122 yards during Saturday's 20-3 loss versus North Carolina.
Impact Nicholas only caught one ball in week 1, but broke out in a big way this week, posting a career high in yards and receptions, while almost accounting for half of Charlotte's offensive production. It will be interesting to see if the LSU transfer will maintain this workload in the coming weeks.
SEPTEMBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Grayson Loftis - 110 yards in the air Loftis completed eight of 12 passes for 110 yards and two interceptions during Saturday's 20-3 defeat versus North Carolina.
Impact Loftis only attempted one pass in the 49ers' season opener, but got a much bigger opportunity this week. The Duke transfer averaged almost 14 yards per completion, but the two interceptions put a dent in his performance, and it remains to be seen if he will get another chance to challenge Conner Harrell for the starting job.
SEPTEMBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Conner Harrell - 140 yards passing in loss Harrell was 17 of 29 passing for 140 yards during Saturday's 20-3 loss against North Carolina. He also had six rushes for -24 yards.
Impact Harrell struggled for the most part against his former team Saturday, only completing 58.6 percent of his passes and not generating a lot of yards. The junior was not effective using his legs either, rushing for negative yards and getting sacked once.
SEPTEMBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Jayden McGowan - Out for remainder of 2025 McGowan (undisclosed) is out for the remainder of UNC Charlotte's 2025 season, Hunter Bailey of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Impact UNC Charlotte's 2025 season began Aug. 29, during which McGowan logged a seven-yard reception against Appalachian State. Between then and Sunday, the wide receiver suffered an undisclosed problem, which is why 2025's remaining schedule will no longer include him.
