Is Christian McCaffrey injured or in contract dispute? Insider has answer
Christian McCaffrey hasn't practiced since Aug. 8 due to tightness, prompting speculation that his absence could be part of a "hold in."
Christian McCaffrey's absence from the San Francisco 49ers training camp has sparked rumors about potential injury or contract issues. However, NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport has clarified that McCaffrey's injury is genuine and unrelated to any desire for a new contract with the team. Rapoport stated that it appears to be a genuine issue rather than a fabricated one or a strategic move for a contract adjustment.
The timing of this development, shortly after other players like Jahmyr Gibbs and Bijan Robinson getting new deals, has fueled speculation, but McCaffrey is expected to be fine, according to Rapoport.
