Raheem Mostert Could Ditch Crutches Soon
3 years agoSan Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert (knee) already had surgery on his knee and said that he can already put 25 percent of his weight on his injured leg. Mostert might be able to ditch his crutches in a couple weeks and is hoping to return fully in 2022, but he's set to become a free agent in March. The 29-year-old had just two carries for 20 yards in the season opener this year before suffering a season-ending knee injury. He played in just eight games in 2020 due to injuries and hasn't proven to be able to withstand a lead-back role, which will likely limit his suitors on the open market, even if he proves he's past his latest knee injury. His landing spot heading into the 2022 season will determine his fantasy value, but it's unlikely he'll be given an outright workhorse role.
