It looks like the 49ers may be without another running back for Sunday’s game against the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium.
Rookie running back Isaac Guerendo is dealing with a hamstring injury and is unlikely to play in Week 16, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Thursday, citing a source.

Guerendo is now the third 49ers running back to miss time this season after San Francisco lost both Christian McCaffrey and backup Jordan Mason to season-ending injuries.
In two starts since the injuries to McCaffrey and Mason, Guerendo recorded 15 carries for 78 yards and two touchdowns on the ground with two receptions for 50 receiving yards in the Week 14 win against the Chicago Bears and 16 carries for 57 yards in the Week 15 loss Los Angeles Rams.
The 49ers will now turn to a combination of Patrick Taylor Jr. and Israel Abanikanda.
