"SANTA CLARA, Calif. - After making it through training camp and the preseason with no apparent health issues and not even appearing on Wednesday's injury report, running back Christian McCaffrey was added to the list on Thursday evening. According to the Niners, McCaffrey is dealing with a calf issue and was a limited participant in Thursday's practice. McCaffrey was on the field and doing his usual warmup and individual drills during the roughly 20 minutes open to the media at the start of the practice."
"But McCaffrey was not in the locker room after it was over and did not do his usual Thursday media session. The addition of McCaffrey to the injury report with a calf issue is particularly notable given what happened leading up to Week 1 of last season. McCaffrey missed most of 2024 training camp while dealing with what the team initially termed a calf injury but later clarified to be bilateral Achilles tendinitis. Heading into last year's season opener against the New York Jets, McCaffrey was listed a limited participant in practice during the week and then listed as questionable for the game."
Christian McCaffrey was added to the Niners' injury report Thursday with a calf issue after appearing healthy through training camp and the preseason. He was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, completed warmups and individual drills during the 20 minutes open to media, but did not return to the locker room after practice or participate in the usual Thursday media session. The calf issue draws concern because McCaffrey missed most of 2024 training camp with an injury later clarified as bilateral Achilles tendinitis, was listed questionable for the Week 1 game, then missed seven games on injured reserve before returning Nov. 10.
