Overview
- The 49ers held Christian McCaffrey out of Monday practice with the team calling the issue 'tightness' and coaches saying he is 'a little sore' but fine.
- Defensive end Nick Bosa missed his fourth straight full practice because of lingering soreness as he continues his return from a 2025 ACL tear.
- San Francisco's backfield is thin with projected backups Kaelon Black (adductor), Jordan James (rib fracture) and Isaac Guerendo (torn pectoral) sidelined, leaving Patrick Taylor Jr., Sincere McCormick and Khalil Herbert to carry extra reps.
- The team worked out veteran running backs Nyheim Miller-Hines and Zamir White and hosted Blake Watson on visits, moves that could lead to short-term signings before Thursday's preseason opener.
- The 49ers have altered camp scheduling to manage veteran workloads and McCaffrey's heavy 2025 usage plus past injuries make any missed practice a close watch for coaches, fantasy managers and fans as joint practices approach.
