The 49ers designated Raheem Mostert (ankle) for return off injured reserve.

This activates Mostert’s 21-day practice window, and he’s eligible to play this Sunday against the Rams if he’s activated to the 53-man roster by the weekend. Mostert has three weeks before he either must be taken off injured reserve or spend the rest of the year there, but it would be a bit of a surprise if he’s not back soon.

The Chiefs placed Byron Pringle (ankle) on injured reserve.

Pringle just suffered the ankle injury on Sunday night, and he will now miss a minimum of three games while on injured reserve. Hopefully Pringle can get back and contribute for a playoff run.

The Jets have placed La’Mical Perine (ankle) on injured reserve.

This was thought to be a possibility, and the rookie will now miss at least the next three games. Look for Frank Gore to lead the backfield as he looks to do all he can to avoid an 0-16 season for New York.

The Chargers will designate Austin Ekeler (hamstring) for return from injured reserve this week.

Ekeler has made considerable progress since suffering a serious hamstring injury in Week 4, even declaring himself in midseason form while posting a workout video. There seems to be a chance Ekeler is even able to return for this Sunday against the Bills, but the Chargers will likely take a cautious approach with the star running back. It would be a surprise if Ekeler isn’t back for the start of the fantasy playoffs.

Rex Burkhead (knee) is out for the season.

Burkhead tweeted the news, adding that he looks forward to getting back on the field next season. The versatile running back is set to become a free agent this offseason, but he’s been an excellent fit with the Patriots as an unselfish player that will contribute on both offense and special teams. Burkhead’s 2020 season ends with 67 carries for 274 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns along with 25 receptions for 192 receiving yards and three receiving touchdowns in ten games.

The Jets are promoting Josh Adams to the active roster.

Adams is getting brought up from the practice squad with La’Mical Perine (ankle) out a few weeks. Frank Gore is set to lead the Jets backfield, though, and Adams is not a recommended fantasy pickup.

La’Mical Perine (ankle) will miss a few weeks.

Perine is dealing with a high-ankle sprain, so he’s going to miss some time with the issue and is a candidate for injured reserve. It’s a tough break for the rookie runner, but hopefully he’s able to get back on the field soon as he looks to build some momentum heading into 2021.
