    49ers' Christian McCaffrey: Downplays preseason absence

    Christian McCaffrey (undisclosed) said Sunday that he always planned to take a break during training camp and then "ramp back up," Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.McCaffrey returned to practice and participated in team drills Sunday after he had been sitting out with general "tightness" of late. The 30-year-old running back added Sunday that the media attention around his absence was a "firestorm" and that his plan all along was 8-to-10 practices to ramp up, a break and then another ramp up in advance of Week 1, according to Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area. McCaffrey recorded a career-high 311 carries for 1,202 yards and 10 touchdowns across 17 regular-season games last year. San Francisco will open the 2026 campaign versus the Rams on Thursday, Sept. 10.

    49ers' Christian McCaffrey: Jumps into team drills Sunday

    Updating a previous report, Christian McCaffrey (undisclosed) participated in team drills during Sunday's practice, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.McCaffrey returned to the practice field after sitting out with general "tightness" during training-camp practices and the San Francisco 49ers' first two preseason games. The running back's participation during team drills is very encouraging for his availability. However, he initially sat out during the early portions of Sunday's team drills, per Tafur, so San Francisco appears to still be monitoring his workload. Given his status, it's unlikely that McCaffrey will suit up for Thursday's preseason finale versus the Raiders. It will be worth monitoring his participation level in practice ahead of the 49ers' Week 1 matchup versus the Rams on Thursday, Sept. 10.

    49ers' Christian McCaffrey: Stays out of team drills

    Christian McCaffrey (undisclosed) was suited up for Sunday's practice but did not participate in team drills, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.McCaffrey had been sidelined this preseason while dealing with general "tightness." His presence in uniform Sunday is a positive step, but the San Francisco 49ers still appear to be managing the running back's undisclosed issue. It's also unlikely that he'll suit up for San Francisco's preseason finale versus the Raiders on Thursday, so it will be worth monitoring when/if he returns to practice as a full participant ahead of the regular season. The 49ers will open the 2026 campaign versus the Rams on Thursday, Sept. 10.

    49ers' Christian McCaffrey: Back at practice Sunday

    Christian McCaffrey (undisclosed) is in uniform for Sunday's training camp practice, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.McCaffrey has been held out of training camp practices and preseason games due to general "tightness." His return to the practice field Sunday for the first time in nearly three weeks is a positive sign, but it's still unclear what his activity level will be. The superstar running back is unlikely to play in Thursday's preseason finale against the Raiders, with the focus instead on having McCaffrey 100 percent healthy for Week 1 against the Rams on Thursday, Sept. 10.

There's been nothing to suggest McCaffrey is in any sort of danger of missing Week 1 against the Rams in three weeks.

    49ers' Christian McCaffrey: Coming along well, per Shanahan

    Coach Kyle Shanahan said Christian McCaffrey (undisclosed) would've practiced Tuesday if the San Francisco 49ers hadn't been in a joint session with the Chargers, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.Shanahan also shut down speculation about McCaffrey's recent absences being contract-related.

    49ers' Christian McCaffrey: Tightness not considered serious issue

    Christian McCaffrey is dealing with "tightness," but it doesn't seem to be an issue to worry about, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.For the sake of clarity, Rapoport emphasized that McCaffrey hasn't been missing practice due to a phantom injury or a contract hold-in. Rapoport suggested that the star running back is dealing with "actual tightness" as opposed to sitting out as a means of forcing contract negotiations, and the report also notes that McCaffrey "should be fine." At this point, fantasy managers can probably count on the workhorse tailback being available for Week 1 of the regular season, though it certainly bears monitoring his practice status as the preseason rolls on.

    49ers' Christian McCaffrey: Misses another practice Saturday

    Christian McCaffrey (undisclosed) remained sidelined during practice Saturday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.The San Francisco 49ers haven't yet offered much detail on McCaffrey's status aside from saying that he's dealing with "tightness." The star running back didn't play in the team's preseason opener versus Tennessee on Thursday, though San Francisco held out its other key starters as well. Offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak said early in the week that the team is "just managing" McCaffrey through some soreness, and at this point there's no indication that he's at risk of not being ready for Week 1 of the regular season. Still, fantasy managers -- especially those who have upcoming drafts -- may be wise to keep an eye on the situation to monitor when McCaffrey is ready to return to the practice field.
