Gets in limited practice James (finger) was limited at Wednesday's practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact After missing some time early in training camp due to a knee injury, James suffered a broken finger in early August that required surgery and kept him off the practice field until last Wednesday. He continues to operate with a cap on his reps as the 49ers begin to ramp up for Week 1, and with the 49ers' top three RBs Christian McCaffrey, Brian Robinson and Isaac Guerendo (shoulder) good to go for Sunday's contest in Seattle, there's a decent chance that James is inactive this weekend if the team doesn't rule him out by the final practice report of the week.

Back on practice field James (finger) returned to practice Wednesday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact James missed some time early in training camp due to a knee injury and then broke a finger not long afterward that required surgery, resulting in him missing the 49ers' entire preseason slate. Despite the time away from the field, the rookie fifth-round pick survived roster cuts and resides in a backfield led by Christian McCaffrey and followed by newcomer Brian Robinson and second-year pro Isaac Guerendo. As a result, James may be a regular inactive on game days, even when he's healthy enough to be available.

Breaks finger, out a few weeks San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said Thursday that James will miss a couple weeks due to a broken finger, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact James will require surgery to address his finger injury, ruling him out for Saturday's preseason opener against the Broncos and potentially also the 49ers' second preseason matchup, which will occur Aug. 16 versus the Raiders. With Isaac Guerendo (shoulder) also expected to miss a couple weeks, all of Patrick Taylor, Ameer Abdullah and Corey Kiner will benefit from increased reps behind star running back Christian McCaffrey.

49ers Rookie has "Knee Issues" according to Head Coach 49ers fifth-round pick Jordan James has missed the past two practices with knee issues.

AUGUST 1, 2025 • THENEWSTRIBUNE.COM

Misses practice with knee injury 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said Thursday that James (knee) is not practicing due to "knee issues," Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact James has reportedly enjoyed a strong start to training camp, with Vic Tafur and Matt Barrows of The Athletic reporting that the rookie fifth-round pick has impressed both Shanahan and offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak. Health provided, James appears in solid position to secure the No. 3 backfield role behind All-Pro starter Christian McCaffrey and backup Isaac Guerendo, but the severity of his current knee issue remains undisclosed. Per Noah Furtado of the San Francisco Chronicle, Shanahan said James will be re-evaluated periodically throughout the next week.

Draws early praise in camp James made a strong first impression on the 49ers' coaching staff during team practices this training camp, according to Matt Barrows of The Athletic.

Impact James was taken in the fifth round of the draft in an effort to bolster San Francisco's backfield depth after veteran backups Elijah Mitchell and Jordan Mason departed this offseason. The 21-year-old James stood out in padded practices, drawing praise from head coach Kyle Shanahan for his ability to "hit the holes hard" and offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak for the ability to pick up blitzes. Starter Christian McCaffrey and backup Isaac Guerendo will undoubtedly sit atop the RB depth chart to start the regular season, but James has put himself in position to compete for the No. 3 role this preseason.
