Overview

  • He was a full participant on Wednesday before appearing as limited with a calf issue on Thursday's official report.
  • The team offered no explanation for the downgrade, and McCaffrey skipped his usual Thursday media availability.
  • Coaches and reporters expect Friday's practice status to be the clearest indicator of whether he will face the Seahawks.
  • If he is unavailable, Brian Robinson Jr. and Isaac Guerendo are positioned to lead San Francisco's backfield.
  • The development follows an injury-plagued 2024 season featuring calf/Achilles and PCL setbacks, despite John Lynch recently saying he looked “tremendous” in camp.
