49ers’ Christian McCaffrey Questionable With Calf, Reported Likely to Play vs. Seahawks

His status carries outsized weight after a 13-game 2024 absence, with new addition Brian Robinson Jr. positioned to step in if needed.

Overview

  • The calf issue surfaced during Thursday’s practice, leading to a limited participation tag, no team drills on Friday, and an official questionable designation for Week 1.
  • Head coach Kyle Shanahan said a game-time decision is expected and described the situation as a “questionable concern,” offering no further details.
  • McCaffrey told reporters he feels great and plans to play, characterizing Thursday’s early exit as a precaution given his injury history.
  • NFL Network reporters Ian Rapoport, Tom Pelissero and Mike Garafolo said Saturday that signs point to McCaffrey playing against Seattle.
  • San Francisco prepared contingencies after trading for Brian Robinson Jr., who is ready for the game plan with Isaac Guerendo available if McCaffrey is limited or unavailable.
