49ers HC Offers Reassuring Update on Christian McCaffrey
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan doesn't seem too worried about running back Christian McCaffrey's injury.
Christian McCaffrey, the San Francisco 49ers running back, has faced numerous injuries throughout his career. This has led to growing concern when he missed another training camp practice due to tightness. However, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan remains confident in McCaffrey's ability to perform. "My concern would be him toughing through tightness, like a lot of people do, and then hurting something bad, and then pulling something, which then, it could be a month," Shanahan stated.
Shanahan expressed confidence in McCaffrey's past performances, both during the 2024 training camp and the current season. Despite McCaffrey's history of injuries, which included calf tightness that led to a season-ending Achilles tendinitis and a separate ligament injury, the 49ers are not concerned. McCaffrey, now 30 years old, had led the league with 413 touches in 2025 and was named NFL Comeback Player of the Year.
He has amassed impressive statistics, including 7,589 rushing yards, 62 touchdowns, and 5,390 receiving yards in his professional career.
