The 49ers brought in Yeldon for a workout Monday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Yeldon appeared in nine games over his previous two seasons with the Bills, totaling 27 rushes for 133 yards. The 49ers currently are dealing with injuries to nearly every rostered running back, so they brought in a trio of veteran running backs for workouts. Yeldon was joined by Lamar Miller and Duke Johnson.

Yeldon only suited up for three regular-season games in 2020, rushing 10 times for 70 yards and catching just one pass for 22 yards, which went for a touchdown.
EDGE Analysis
Yeldon nearly matched his entire regular-season total in the AFC Championship Game, where he picked up 56 yards from scrimmage on seven touches while serving as a change-of-pace option for Devin Singletary. Yeldon will turn 28 in October and has never lived up to his second-round draft status, but he has a good set of hands and has figured out a way to provide occasional value. If he re-signs with the Bills -- he's an unrestricted free agent this offseason -- he'll have a similar depth role behind Singletary and Zack Moss.

Coach Sean McDermott said Friday that Yeldon will work as Devin Singletary's backup in Saturday's AFC divisional-round game against the Ravens, Nick Wojton of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Yeldon was a healthy scratch for last week's wild-card win over the Colts. Zack Moss suffered a postseason-ending ankle injury during that game, opening the door for Yeldon to take on a larger role for the rest of playoffs. Yeldon logged just 42 offensive snaps and 11 touches for 92 yards and a touchdown over three games during the regular season, and he hasn't taken the field since Week 5. Meanwhile, the Bills elevated Antonio Williams from the practice squad to add backfield depth. Yeldon is expected to run ahead of Williams, but it adds ambiguity to the former's situation.

Yeldon (coach's decision) is inactive for Saturday's wild-card matchup against Indianapolis.
EDGE Analysis
While Yeldon was previously on the Bills' reserve/COVID-19 list, he is now healthy but still will not play in Saturday's game. The running back is simply not as much of a factor compared to teammates Devin Singletary and Zack Moss.

The Bills activated Yeldon from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Yeldon will provide the Bills with added depth out of the backfield as Saturday's playoff opener against the Colts approaches. He's clearly behind Devin Singletary and Zack Moss in the pecking order at running back, and Taiwan Jones' importance on special teams could result in Yeldon being a healthy inactive for the wild-card round.

Yeldon was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Sunday after testing positive for the virus, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Yeldon is out for the Week 16 matchup against New England, and depending on when he tested positive, he could miss the season finale.

Yeldon (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game at Arizona.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old sat out Week 9 due to a back injury, and he's inactive again this week despite being recovered from the injury. Even when he is active, Yeldon is unlikely to be much of a factor while Devin Singletary and Zack Moss remain healthy.

Yeldon (back) was a full participant during Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Yeldon failed to practice all last week with the back issue before being ruled out of Week 9, so it appears he's on track to return to the lineup, that is, if the Bills decide to suit up an extra running back. The Alabama product has seen a limited role this season, rushing for just 70 yards on 10 carries and adding a touchdown catch for 22 yards. Yeldon has a better chance of getting the call Sunday if fellow running back Taiwan Jones (hamstring) has to miss a second straight game.

Yeldon (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
EDGE Analysis
Yeldon was unable to practice all week and will continue to sit out as a result. Devin Singletary and Zack Moss will continue to split Buffalo's backfield reps while the team's offense will likely go pass-heavy against Seattle's league-worst secondary.

Yeldon missed Wednesday's practice due to a back injury.
EDGE Analysis
Yeldon was scratched for Sunday's win against the Patriots due to the issue, though he's often a healthy inactive anyway. The veteran has carried the ball just 10 times in 2020, while the only pass he's caught did go for a touchdown.
