Kyle Shanahan Addresses Christian McCaffrey's Practice Absence
Christian McCaffrey, the running back for the San Francisco 49ers, missed practice again on Tuesday, raising some concerns among fans and analysts. Offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak noted that McCaffrey's absence on Monday was due to tightness, although no further details were provided.
McCaffrey previously dealt with calf tightness during the 2024 training camp, which continued into the regular season. He played only four games last year due to injuries, including Achilles tendinitis and a posterior collateral ligament issue. Despite this history, Coach Kyle Shanahan expressed that he is not worried about McCaffrey's current situation.
Shanahan emphasized the importance of McCaffrey being prepared for the upcoming season, stating that the main concern would be if he tried to push through tightness and risk a more serious injury. McCaffrey had a standout season last year, leading the league with 413 touches, including 311 carries for 1,202 yards and 10 touchdowns, along with 102 receptions for 924 yards and seven touchdowns.
