Jeff Wilson Jr. returns to the San Francisco 49ers on a one-year deal, reuniting with a team that relied on him from 2018–22. With multiple backs dealing with injuries, SF adds a veteran who can contribute depth behind Christian McCaffrey and help stabilize the backfield in the short term. Wilson’s career line—72 games, 531 carries for 2,370 yards and 18 touchdowns—gives the Niners a trusted, health-conscious option who can spell McCaffrey and soak up tough-yardage runs. This move signals SF’s intent to preserve McCaffrey’s workload while staying flexible if injuries linger, a potential late-round handcuff with some vulture potential in goal-line spots.
