Sincere McCormick Improves His Stock In Preseason Win

Friday, August 21, 1:02 AM

San Francisco 49ers running back Sincere McCormick led the team in rushing for another week in the team's preseason meeting with the Los Angeles Chargers. While starter Kaelon Black and backup Zamir White handled more carries, McCormick finished with a team-high 53 rushing yards and scored a touchdown in the 49ers' 41-17 win. McCormick got the bulk of his yardage after taking advantage of solid blocking and weaving his way through traffic and then exploding for a 37-yard gain. Two plays later, McCormick fought his way into the end zone from seven yards out. Despite being used as an alternate, McCormick has outshone his teammates for the second game in a row. The 49ers' depth chart at running back is yet to be settled, but whoever wins might be worth a late flyer as Christian McCaffrey's handcuff. McCormick's last preseason audition to be San Francisco's RB2 will come on August 27 against the Raiders.

Pierre Strong Jr. Could Be In Line for Sizable Role with Packers

Wednesday, November 11, 5:28 PM

Green Bay Packers running back Pierre Strong Jr. could potentially see an uptick in his usage following a broken finger injury to starting running back Josh Jacobs. Strong led Green Bay's backfield in snaps played (30) in a 45-27 win over the New England Patriots in Week 9. Strong rushed eight times for 22 yards (2.8 yards per carry) and recorded two receptions for 11 yards (5.5 yards per reception). However, Strong was out-touched 14-to-10 by fellow tailback Kaleb Johnson, and Johnson was the preferred ball carrier with 14 carries for 68 yards (4.9 yards per carry) and a touchdown against the Patriots. With that said, Strong appeared to be favored on passing downs, as he was in on 15 passing plays compared to eight for Johnson, according to Pro Football Focus. Jacobs is expected to miss at least two to three weeks after breaking his right ring finger. Meanwhile, running back MarShawn Lloyd (knee) missed the game against the Patriots, but returned to practice on Wednesday without an injury designation ahead of a Week 10 contest against the Minnesota Vikings. Fellow tailback Chris Brooks (ankle) remains on injured reserve, but is designated to return, and he was a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Still, Strong should continue to see reps for the Packers with Jacobs out.
