Back from hamstring injury
Abanikanda (hamstring) returned to practice Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Abanikanda's back after missing practice Tuesday and Wednesday. He's one of seven running backs currently with the team, but Abanikanda's unlikely to earn a spot on the 53-man roster, though a practice-squad spot is a more realistic possibility.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
A fifth-round pick out of Pitt in 2023, Abanikanda didn't see his first career touches until Week 11, after the Jets had parted ways with Michael Carter. With Dalvin Cook now out of the picture as well, there should be an open competition in camp between Abanikanda and a pair of 2024 picks, Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis, for the backup job behind Breece Hall. Abanikanda has breakaway speed and an extra year of experience in Nathaniel Hackett's offensive scheme, which could give him the edge, but none of the three have proven third-down skills.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely to debut Week 15
Abanikanda could make his 49ers debut Thursday against the Rams, as coach Kyle Shanahan said after Sunday's 38-13 win over the Bears that Isaac Guerendo has a possible foot sprain, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
If Guerendo's unable to play Thursday, the 49ers would likely go with a combination of Patrick Taylor, Ke'Shawn Vaughn and Abanikanda in the backfield against the Rams. Abanikanda was inactive against Chicago after being claimed off waivers from the Jets, while Taylor backed up Guerendo prior to Guerendo's injury and Vaughn was elevated from the practice squad.
