Christian McCaffrey Active for 49ers’ Week 1 at Seahawks

San Francisco’s roster decisions signal confidence in his availability, with depth in place to manage his workload.

Overview

  • The 49ers’ official inactives confirmed McCaffrey will play, with seven players out including rookie running back Jordan James.
  • McCaffrey was listed as questionable after practicing fully Wednesday, going limited Thursday with a calf issue, and not practicing Friday.
  • Team moves reinforced optimism as no running backs were elevated from the practice squad, while WR Russell Gage and LB Curtis Robinson were promoted.
  • Recent trade acquisition Brian Robinson Jr., along with rookie Isaac Guerendo, provides insurance if the team tapers McCaffrey’s touches.
  • The Seahawks elevated defensive tackle Quinton Bohanna and cornerback Shaquill Griffin from the practice squad for Week 1.
