Nobody who arrived this week is a threat to Wilson's carries.

Joe Mixon won't join the team after his physical, Jadarian Price is on injured reserve for at least three more games, and Zach Charbonnet won't play against the 49ers even though this is the first week he's eligible off the PUP list. The only addition was Robert Henry Jr. , an undrafted rookie off the Commanders' practice squad who hasn't made his regular season debut. Wilson already showed what the full job looks like in Week 4 against the Chargers, with 21 carries for 81 yards, three catches for 39 yards and two touchdowns. Those catches are the real change. Holani took the third down snaps when the season opened, and Wilson had zero receptions through the first three weeks. Charbonnet is expected to take team reps in practice this week, and his activation is the next change coming to this backfield.

Emanuel Wilson rushed for 81 yards and a touchdown on 21 carries in the win over the Los Angeles Chargers last week. He appears set to continue in the primary role for the time being. "He’s doing well," head coach Mike Macdonald said. "... He’s a good back. He’s heavy, he falls forward. He’s got good vision. Let’s keep it rolling."....It seems unlikely that Charbonnet will be back this week as he's just beginning to get reps in team periods of practice this week.
