49ers continue to play musical chairs at running back after releasing Jordan Mims
· Yahoo Sports
The San Francisco 49ers continue to churn the bottom of their roster. The team’s cancellation of this week’s mandatory minicamp has not prevented them from making moves.

The 49ers signed running back Sincere McCormick for what feels like the 17th time. To make room for McCormick, running back Jordan Mims was waived. Mims was signed on May 28.
McCormick has been in the NFL since 2022, when he signed with the Las Vegas Raiders as an undrafted free agent. He was on the Raiders roster through the 2024 season. Since then, he’s had stints with the 49ers, Cardinals, Broncos, and Vikings, appearing in five games during that stretch. He was also on each team’s practice squad before signing with San Francisco on April 28 and being released for Mims on May 28.
The 49ers’ stable of running backs consists of Christian McCaffrey, Jordan James, and Kaelon Black. That’s who we can expect to get the brunt of the workload for this upcoming season. Guerendo’s roster spot is in jeopardy, especially with veteran Patrick Taylor’s ability to cover kicks and contribute on special teams — an area where Guerendo was demoted.
