Sep 10, 2024, 03:13 AM

San Francisco 49ers running back Jordan Mason had a standout performance in his first NFL start, which took place on Monday night. Mason, who was informed on Friday night that he would be starting, stepped in for the injured Christian McCaffrey. He recorded 28 carries for 147 yards and one touchdown, marking the second most rushing yards by an undrafted player in Monday Night Football history. The 49ers' dominant performance included a strong defensive effort, leading to a decisive victory over the New York Jets. The NFL is investigating the 49ers for not disclosing Mason's starting status earlier, as it is mandatory for teams to report changes in player statuses. Christian McCaffrey was listed as questionable on the final injury report, and CMC might not be close to coming back yet.
