Juszczyk does not have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Juszczyk suffered a concussion during San Francisco's Week 2 win over the Saints. He progressed to a full practice Friday, and his lack of an injury designation suggests he has cleared the league's concussion protocol. Juszczyk should be ready to suit up against Arizona in Week 3.

Juszczyk (concussion) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Juszczyk was unable to practice to open the week Wednesday, so his return to action Thursday is a step in the right direction. The fullback remains in concussion protocol, and he'll likely have to log a full practice Friday in order to have a chance to play Sunday against the Cardinals.

Juszczyk has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Saints due to a concussion, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Juszczyk was evaluated on the sidelines after taking a hit to the head in the first half of Sunday's game, and the veteran fullback has been diagnosed with a concussion. He will not be allowed to return to Sunday's game, and he'll have to pass the league's five-step concussion protocol in order to play in Week 3 against the Cardinals on Sunday, Sept. 21. Juszczyk is the only fullback on the 49ers' active roster, but tight ends Luke Farrell, Jake Tonges or Brayden Willis could be deployed as a backfield blocker for the rest of Sunday's contest.

Juszczyk had two receptions on as many targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 17-13 win over Seattle.
EDGE Analysis
Juszczyk was able to leak out of the backfield twice for a couple of big chunk plays to extend drives Sunday. The versatile fullback may see an extra target or two as the 49ers manage a depleted receiver room in the early portion of the schedule. Juszczyk would still need to see a significant jump in usage to warrant fantasy consideration at the endangered fullback position.

Juszczyk (Achilles) played six snaps on offense without otherwise showing up on the box score during the 49ers' 22-19 preseason win over the Raiders on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran fullback has been working through an Achilles issue over the past two weeks, but he was cleared to make his preseason debut Saturday. Juszczyk, a nine-time Pro Bowler, will continue to play a key role in the 49ers' offense as the lead blocker out of the backfield for Christian McCaffrey.

Juszczyk (Achilles) did not participate in practice Monday, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
The fullback initially suffered the injured Saturday when a teammate stepped on the back of his leg, per Matt Barrows of The Athletic. Juszczyk is "considered day to day," according to Barrows. The veteran is the only fullback on San Francisco's roster.

Jusczyk and the 49ers have agreed on a two-year, $8 million contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
San Francisco released Jusczyk on Monday, but the two sides came together to agree upon a quick reunion. The nine-time Pro Bowler will earn less money than last season, but the deal will allow him to remain with one of the few remaining NFL squads that still extensively uses a fullback. Though his value extends beyond statistical contributions, Jusczyk was a useful contributor on offense in 2024, posting 19 catches on 31 targets for 200 yards and two touchdowns while rushing five times for 26 yards and another TD.

The 49ers released Juszczyk on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Juszczyk has made nine consecutive Pro Bowls as a fullback and is coming off a second-team All-Pro selection in 2024, a season in which he caught 19 passes for 200 yards and two touchdowns. He also rushed five times for 26 yards and a third score. Juszcyzk will turn 34 years old in April and wants to continue his playing career. Releasing Juszczyk saves the Niners more than $2.9 million against the cap but leaves behind $3.57 million in dead money.

Juszczyk produced 26 rushing yards and a touchdown on five carries to go along with 19 receptions for 200 yards and a pair of scores while starting all 17 games for San Francisco this season.
EDGE Analysis
Juszczyk turned in another strong season from the near-extinct fullback position, providing the 49ers with elite blocking in addition to his services as an auxiliary receiving option. The 33-year-old will enter the second year of his restructured contract in 2025, presumably serving in a similar role, which provides great real-life value to his club despite holding little fantasy utility.

Juszczyk (illness) is absent from the 49ers' injury report ahead of Monday's matchup with the Lions.
EDGE Analysis
Juszczyk popped up on the team's injury report Friday due to an illness. However, it looks like he has moved on from the issue and should be good to go Monday assuming he avoids any setbacks.
