"As the Niners returned from their bye this week, McCaffrey said he was "rested and recovered" on Wednesday, taking his usual veteran's rest that day. He then was limited in practice on Thursday with an illness but was a full participant in Friday's practice, which is more of a walkthrough. "I know he wasn't feeling well, but he looked good today," coach Kyle Shanahan said on Friday."
"That would indicate the back issue flared up either after Friday's practice or sometime Saturday. McCaffrey has not missed a game this season after he was limited to just four contests in 2024 because of Achilles and knee injuries. If McCaffrey was unable to go, Brian Robinson would step into the starting running back role with Isaac Guerendo and rookie Jordan James available as potential backups."
The San Francisco 49ers added running back Christian McCaffrey to the injury report Saturday, making him questionable for Sunday’s game against the Tennessee Titans with a back issue. A source indicated McCaffrey is expected to be good to go. McCaffrey reported feeling rested and recovered after the bye, was limited Thursday with an illness, and was a full participant in Friday's walkthrough practice. The back issue likely flared after Friday or Saturday. McCaffrey has not missed a game this season after playing only four contests in 2024. If unavailable, Brian Robinson would start, with Isaac Guerendo and rookie Jordan James as backups.
