San Francisco running back Isaac Guerendo was injured and carted off early during the 49ers‘ season finale versus the Arizona Cardinals.
On San Francisco’s opening series and on Guerendo’s second carry, the rookie from Louisville got twisted up as he rushed for a pair of yards. Guerendo required the cart to exit the playing surface at State Farm Stadium and the team didn’t wait to rule him out.
The 49ers ruled Guerendo out with a knee and ankle injury.

With Guerendo out of the equation, San Francisco is down to just one healthy running back in Patrick Taylor Jr.
Entering Sunday, Taylor had appeared in six games this season, carrying 22 times for 74 rushing yards with a 3-yard touchdown against the Chicago Bears on Dec. 8.
Taylor is a fourth-year pro from Memphis. Prior to this season with San Francisco, Taylor spent three seasons with the Green Bay Packers.
Guerendo’s 2024 season comes to a close with 84 carries, 420 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns. Guerendo was selected by the 49ers in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL draft.
