Christian McCaffrey Skips Monday's Practice Due to 'Tightness'

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey missed Monday's training camp practice due to "tightness," according to team insiders. The exact nature of the issue remains unspecified, and it is unknown when McCaffrey will return to action. The star running back had an outstanding 2025 season, appearing in 17 games and rushing for 1,202 yards and 10 touchdowns, while also contributing with 102 receptions for 924 yards and 7 touchdowns out of the backfield.

In 2024, McCaffrey played in just four games due to Achilles tendinitis and a PCL sprain. The 49ers will kick off their preseason with a game against the Tennessee Titans on Thursday, with their regular season opener against division rival Los Angeles Rams set for September 10.
