US Edition49ers Star Christian McCaffrey Added to Injury Report with Calf Issue Ahead of Season Opener
Christian McCaffrey was limited in practice due to a calf issue after an injury-plagued previous season, with the 49ers managing his workload carefully to maintain health.
- On Thursday, the San Francisco 49ers listed Christian McCaffrey as a limited participant with a calf issue ahead of Sunday’s Week 1 at Lumen Field.
- After an injury-plagued 2024 season, McCaffrey missed 13 games with Achilles tendinitis and calf injuries, then played four games post-return before a PCL sprain in his right knee ended his season.
- During the media window, McCaffrey was on the field for roughly 20 minutes of drills but skipped his usual Thursday media session after a full Wednesday practice; the 49ers offered no further comment beyond the daily report.
- The team's announced timeframe is that the 49ers likely won't reveal Christian McCaffrey's final playing status until 90 minutes before kickoff, relying on Brian Robinson Jr. and Isaac Guerendo if he can't play.
- Given last season's collapse, the addition of Christian McCaffrey to the injury report recalls the 49ers' 6-11 finish in 2024, though ESPN schedule projection for 2025 offers moderate optimism.
