Christian McCaffrey was seen practicing just before the San Francisco 49ers' Week 1 game against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. The 29-year-old, who was a part of the team's injury report on Thursday with a calf issue, is expected to play, ESPN reported.
The two-time All-Pro sat out practice on Friday and was listed as questionable for the contest. The reported calf issue brought up memories of McCaffrey's bilateral Achilles tendinitis last year. The injury caused him to miss the first eight games of the season, and he lost five more games to close the year with a right PCL sprain.
McCaffrey finished last season with career lows in rushing yards (202), rushing touchdowns (zero), receptions (15) and receiving yards (146). He led the NFL in rushing in 2023 yards with 1,459.
RB: Christian McCaffrey, Brian Robinson, Isaac Guerendo, Jordan James
