A recent proposal from 49ers reporter Matt Barrows of The Athletic suggests a potential trade that could send running back Raheem Mostert from the Miami Dolphins to San Francisco in exchange for backup quarterback Joshua Dobbs. "The 49ers need a reliable running back, and the Miami Dolphins seem to need a quarterback," Barrows said.

When Christian McCaffrey went down, the 49ers could take solace in the fact that they had another versatile and dynamic weapon in Deebo Samuel. For the next two games, the 49ers will be without both as Samuel reported to work with a calf strain that coach Kyle Shanahan would likely keep him out two weeks.
