5 rb if count the fullback Juice. The other 4: Wilson, Mitchell, Hasty and Davis Price.
Sermon gets waived, but gets picked up by another team.
49ers will want to put Mason on the practice squad, but he will get gobbled quickly by someone else.
After giving it some more thought, I think both Mason and Hasty might be a good replacement for Wilson. Both Mason and Hasty have been very productive so far in the pre season. Mitchell and TDP are a lock. Sermon hasn't been productive with or without the injury and I think they will cut there losses with him. Mason is a hard nose, down hill runner like Wilson. Hasty is a recieving and blitz pickup option just like Wilson. Wilson has had durability issues throughout his career and his performance was down last year even when he was on the field. Him and Sermon were the reasons Deebo took up that RB2 role. If we are going by RB by committee approach than the following would make a lot of sense.
Mitchell
TDP
Hasty
Mason
