San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (calf) fully participated in practice Friday, Sept. 19, and is not on the injury report for Week 3.
Footballguys view: On the official injury report, the 49ers were careful to mark McCaffrey's DNP on Wednesday as "Calf, Not Injury Related-Resting Player." It sounds like early-week rest is going to be the norm for McCaffrey as he manages a lingering calf issue this season. With back-to-back full practices to close out the week, expect McCaffrey to play with no limitations. He's our RB2 this week, behind only Bijan Robinson. |

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (calf) made it through the Week 1 game against the Seattle Seahawks without any setbacks, but he played 76 percent of the offensive snaps, as opposed to 85 percent of the snaps in the Week 1 game in 2023, which was a lopsided win. RB Brian Robinson Jr. spelled him frequently.

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey rushed 22 times for 69 yards and caught nine of his 10 targets for 73 yards in a 17-13 win over the Seattle Seahawks in Week 1.
Footballguys view: Kyle Shanahan did his best to get McCaffrey the ball, despite the questionable designation the running back carried into the game after suffering a calf injury in Thursday's practice. His 142 scrimmage yards were evidence of that. McCaffrey had his 31st career game with 50-plus rushing and 50-plus receiving yards, the second-most such games in NFL history (behind Hall of Famer Marshall Faulk: 41). No other player has 25-plus such games in his career. Even if the Niners go easy on him in practice this week, expect CMC to play a prominent role against the Saints in Week 2. |

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (calf) appears to have a good chance play in the Week 1 despite his calf injury, according to sources.
Footballguys view: McCaffrey first was added to the injury report on Thursday as a limited participant. On Friday, McCaffrey was officially a DNP. Now here we are on Saturday, and reports indicate he's going to play. Fantasy GMs need to be cautious here, but that's the way most of us already are approaching McCaffrey at this point in his career. He's an RB1 when healthy, and if Brian Robinson (his primary backup) has to play he's an RB2/flex play. |

The 49ers are listing RB Christian McCaffrey as limited at today's practice due to a calf issue.
Footballguys view: McCaffrey, who practiced fully on Wednesday, is a newcomer to this week's injury report. According to Bay Area News Group beat writer Cam Inman, McCaffrey initially warmed up as usual. Of course, we thought a year ago McCaffrey was fine for Week 1, then missed two months with Achilles tendinitis and wound up appearing in just four games. We'll obviously be watching this one closely over the next 24 hours -- and perhaps beyond. The 49ers play the Seahawks Sunday in a late-afternoon kickoff. The newly-acquired Brian Robinson Jr. is the next man up at the position. |

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey is healthy for the start of training camp but his workload will be managed as camp goes on, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.
Footballguys view: As ESPN.com's Nick Wagoner previously reported, McCaffrey not only participated in every phase of organized team activities and the mandatory minicamp but was one of the few Niners stars to take reps in team drills. He has made it through well, a good sign for the Niners, given his importance to their success. McCaffrey has quietly crept back into the tail end of the first round of drafts. He's going as RB5 with the ninth pick overall. As we all know, a healthy McCaffrey is capable of outperforming that spot. |

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey 'looks incredible ... and so explosive,' according to FB Kyle Juszczyk.
Footballguys view: It's a small quote, and these are the type of things often heard in the offseason. "Player A" in the best shape of his life! "Player B" going to be better than ever! That's all nice and well, but with McCaffrey everyone already knows how talented he is at full strength. Fantasy GMs who are taking McCaffrey near the end of the first round (current ADP of RB5) will have to have a plan in place if he misses more time. Isaac Guerendo is in line to be McCaffrey's primary backup in 2025. |

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (Achilles, knee) participated in every phase of voluntary OTAs and the mandatory minicamp, and he even took reps during team drills, which was rare among the team's established stars, per ESPN's Nick Wagoner.
Footballguys view: Good news for the 49ers here. Everyone knows McCaffrey is a stud who can be the best back in the league when healthy. It's that staying healthy part that is unknown. McCaffrey says he feels 'great' after being dogged by injuries in 2024. |

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (Achilles, knee) 'looked electric' during OTAs Thursday, May 29, according to Matt Barrows of The Athletic.
Footballguys view: 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters that McCaffrey is as â€"healthy as can be†and that the team must â€"protect him from himself.†Everyone knows McCaffrey is an elite playmaker when healthy, but it's been the staying healthy part that has been a problem in recent years. McCaffrey has injury risk, but is seen as a low-end RB1 for Fantasy GMs in 2025. Isaac Guerendo could get more work to keep McCaffrey fresh as the year goes on. |

As my friend, (Pittsburgh Steelers head coach) Mike Tomlin (says), 'It's a lot better to have to say 'Woah' than it is to say 'Sic 'em.' Christian is a 'Woah' guy because he's going to do everything possible to give himself a chance,' Lynch said.

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (knee) said he is nearly fully recovered from his knee injury and believes he would have been available for the playoffs if the 49ers clinched a spot. He said he will be able to participate in organized team activities.
Footballguys view: McCaffrey appeared in only four games this season. He missed the first eight due to Achilles tendinitis and the last five after a PCL injury. McCaffrey expects to be ready for next season and is eager to return to his NFL Offensive Player of the Year form. When asked about his initial Achilles injury and if it has calmed down enough to no longer be a concern for the 2025 season, McCaffrey responded, "Yeah, a hundred percent." He isn't sure what triggered the initial injury but downplayed speculation that he overworked himself last offseason. Tweaking his offseason workout regimen remains a work in progress, as he hopes to avoid a recurrence this year. McCaffrey admitted that the second injury, which sidelined him for the remainder of the season, was "incredibly hard" to handle. Fantasy managers who invested their first pick overall in the star running back feel the same. We'll be monitoring McCaffrey's progress all offseason. |
