Jordan Mason has emerged as a key player for the San Francisco 49ers in the absence of Christian McCaffrey, showcasing impressive performance as one of the NFL's top running backs.

During a recent game against the Seattle Seahawks, Mason suffered a shoulder injury but managed to return for the second half, although his effectiveness was limited. The 49ers are concerned about their depth at running back, especially with McCaffrey still sidelined.

Mason's strong start to the season has made him a vital asset, ranking second in rushing yards in the league, trailing only Derrick Henry. The team hopes for Mason's quick recovery as they await McCaffrey's return.
