Davis-Price (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Buccaneers, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis-Price has failed to earn a steady role in the 49ers' offense this season. The rookie remains behind Jordan Mason and lead back Christian McCaffrey, while practice squad elevation Tevin Coleman will dress ahead of him against Tampa Bay for Week 14. He'll work to earn the opportunity to suit up Week 15 against the Seahawks.

Davis-Price did not see the field on offense or on special teams in Sunday's 33-17 win over the Dolphins.
EDGE Analysis
Davis-Price figured to be in the mix for snaps behind Christian McCaffrey on Sunday, but it was Jordan Mason (8/51/0) who took over Elijah Mitchell's (knee) backup spot while maintaining his usual role on special teams. The 2022 third-round pick has struggled to find his way onto the field despite the 49ers having a multitude of injury problems at the running back position this season. If you stashed TDP in hopes he could take over the backup role in San Francisco, it's probably safe to move on ahead of Sunday's tilt against the Buccaneers.

Davis-Price, who has been a healthy inactive for the 49ers' last three games, could serve as the No. 2 running back behind Christian McCaffrey (knee) in Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
The last time Davis-Price saw action was in the 49ers' 44-23 loss to the Chiefs in Week 7, when McCaffrey was on a limited snap count in his San Francisco debut. Davis-Price served as McCaffrey's main backup for that contest, as Jeff Wilson was sent out to Miami in a trade a few days earlier and Elijah Mitchell was still on injured reserve. Mitchell returned to action following the Niners' Week 9 bye and served as McCaffrey's main understudy the past three games, though the former is now set to go back on IR after suffering an MCL sprain to his left knee in this past Sunday's win over the Saints. Meanwhile, McCaffrey was able to finish the game while battling knee irritation, temporarily clouding the star back's status for the 49ers' Week 13 game against the Dolphins. Even if McCaffrey ends up being able to play through the knee issue, the 49ers could look to manage his workload by incorporating Davis-Price, who has logged 16 carries for 37 yards and has yet to record a reception across three appearances. Jordan Mason has dressed ahead of Davis-Price the last three weeks and even picked up five carries this past Sunday, but Mason has mostly been active due to his status as a core special-teams contributor and may not be ahead of Davis-Price in the pecking order for snaps out of the backfield.

Davis-Price has been ruled a healthy scratch for Sunday's game against the Saints.
EDGE Analysis
Davis-Price will be a healthy inactive for the third game in a row after failing to see the field since the 49ers' Week 8 win over the Rams. With the rookie third-rounder out, Christian McCaffrey, Elijah Mitchell and Jordan Mason will once again slot in as San Francisco's top three backs Week 12.

Davis-Price (coach's decision) has been ruled inactive for Monday's game against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Davis-Price saw his playing time fall off Week 8, and he will be a healthy scratch for the second game in a row. With the rookie sidelined, Christian McCaffrey, Elijah Mitchell and Jordan Mason will once again slot in as the 49ers' top three running backs Week 11. Davis-Price's next opportunity to suit up will come against the Saints on Sunday, Nov. 27.

Davis-Price (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis-Price didn't see any playing time during the 49ers' Week 8 matchup against the Rams, and he'll be a healthy scratch following the Week 9 bye. Christian McCaffrey, Elijah Mitchell and Jordan Mason will operate as San Francisco's three active running backs Sunday.

Davis-Price did not log any snaps in Sunday's 31-14 win over the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
Davis-Price was active for this contest, but he wasn't used in any capacity in the win. The addition of star running back Christian McCaffrey (26 touches) and the presence of veteran backup Jeff Wilson (six touches) pushes the rookie back into a reserve role moving forward. Davis-Price and the 49ers will resume play after the upcoming bye week against the Chargers on Nov. 13.

Davis-Price rushed twice for four yards and failed to bring in either of his two targets in Sunday's 44-23 loss to Kansas City.
EDGE Analysis
Davis-Price essentially was a healthy scratch in his return from an ankle injury last week, so Sunday's brief action actually was an increase in playing time. The third-round pick from this year's draft has not played well as a backup through seven weeks, posting a meager 2.3 YPC on 16 rushing attempts. The addition of Christian McCaffrey pushes Davis-Price even further down the depth chart, making the rookie a non-factor heading into next Sunday's tilt against the Rams.

Davis-Price (ankle) logged one offensive snap and received no touches in Sunday's 28-14 loss to Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Davis-Price returned from a three-game layoff just in time to assist a banged up 49ers backfield, but he essentially was deployed as a healthy scratch. Head coach Kyle Shanahan did not turn to his third-round pick from this year's draft, despite both Jeff Wilson (7-25-0 and a fumble) and Tevin Coleman (4-3-0) struggling from the opening snap. Perhaps Davis-Price will get a few touches against the Chiefs on Sunday.

Davis-Price (ankle) practiced fully Wednesday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
After suffering a high-ankle sprain Week 2 against the Seahawks, Davis-Price didn't mix into any drills the last three weeks, so his ability to handle every rep Wednesday signals that he's mostly past the issue. Jeff Wilson (shoulder) has been leading the 49ers backfield since Elijah Mitchell (knee) went down in the season opener, but Davis-Price, a rookie third-round pick, could challenge Tevin Coleman for complementary touches moving forward. In his sole appearance this season, Davis-Price mustered 33 yards on 14 carries (2.4 YPC) and wasn't targeted.
