Christian McCaffrey

SF Running Back #23

Christian McCaffrey (calf) remained limited for Friday’s practice.

Third-string running back Isaac Guerendo (groin) was also limited. 49ers GM John Lynch told reporters earlier today that McCaffrey was “doing great.” McCaffrey was also limited in Thursday’s practice. Though the timing of the injury isn’t ideal, there have been no indications that the superstar running back is at risk of missing Week 1. With Elijah Mitchell on injured reserve, the 49ers may not even be able to scale back McCaffrey’s workload as much as they want to. Barring a sudden turn of events, CMC remains the top asset in all of fantasy land.
Christian McCaffrey

SF Running Back #23

49ers GM John Lynch said Christian McCaffrey (calf/Achilles) is “doing great” after being limited in Thursday’s practice.

Lynch said of McCaffrey, “We have to finish this week, but he looks like Christian, and that’s a good thing for us. Obviously we want to see him progress through the week. We had confidence he’d be ready...he’ll be out there and ready to go.” It doesn’t sound like McCaffrey is at real risk of missing Monday night’s contest against the Jets, but we’ll see what happens after the Niners log their final practice on Saturday. It would be surprising if McCaffrey didn’t play in Week 1.
Talanoa Hufanga

SF Safety #29

49ers S Talanoa Hufanga (knee) was limited in Thursday’s practice.

Hufanga was removed from injured reserve back on August 27 and is returning from a torn ACL that ended his 2023 campaign. The fourth-year vet is expected to be eased back into things but could still make the start on Monday night when the Niners take on the Jets. His availability will likely depend on how things go throughout the week, but a limited session out of the gate is a good sign for the 2022 First-Team All-Pro.
Jauan Jennings

SF Wide Receiver #15

49ers WR Jauan Jennings (ankle) was limited in Thursday’s practice.

Jennings will open the season in his typical WR3 role after Ricky Pearsall was placed on the NFI list following a gunshot wound in an attempted robbery attempt over the weekend. Jennings caught 19 passes for 265 yards and one touchdown last season and won’t be on the fantasy radar even if he can go this week.
Christian McCaffrey

SF Running Back #23

Christian McCaffrey (calf/Achilles) will be limited in Thursday’s practice.

This is the first practice of the week for the 49ers, who face the Jets on Monday night. McCaffrey didn’t take a preseason snap due to a calf strain he suffered in early August and is clearly still working through things. Playing through calf and/or Achilles injuries always seems risky, so we’ll see how things go for CMC throughout the week. That he can log a limited session with five days until kick-off is a good sign he’ll be ready for Week 1, but we’ll see how things progress. In the unlikely scenario McCaffrey sits, Jordan Mason would have high-end RB2 upside against the Jets.
Christian McCaffrey

SF Running Back #23

ESPN’s Nick Wagoner reports Christian McCaffrey is back at 49ers’ practice.

While McCaffrey has sat out the whole preseason nursing a calf strain, this news comes as little surprise. It’s been known that CMC would likely be ready for the season as he started working out on the side (during practice) a couple of weeks ago. The consensus top-pick in fantasy will be ready to go for Week 1 against a Jets’ defense that ranked as a top-five unit in 2023.
Trent Williams

SF Tackle #71

49ers signed LT Trent Williams to a contract extension.

Entering his age-36 season, Williams held out all offseason, demanding more guaranteed money from the Niners. The two sides, reportedly far apart as of last week, came to terms just six days before the 49ers kick off the regular season against the Jets. The Niners, according to Pro Football Focus, were the sixth worst pass blocking team in 2023.
Trent Williams

SF Tackle #71

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Trent Williams and the 49ers are trying to reach a deal before the team’s Week 1 game against the Jets.

It was reported last week that the two sides were not close in contract talks. Williams, 36, has said he wants more guaranteed money this season while the team has held firm against Williams’ requests. Williams was seen boarding a plane to San Francisco from Houston on Monday night. Entering Week 1 without Williams would be a blow for Brock Purdy and the entire Niners offense.
Ricky Pearsall

SF Wide Receiver #14

49ers placed WR Ricky Pearsall on reserve/non-football injury list.

This was somewhat expected after Pearsall was shot in the chest during an armed robbery attempt over the weekend. Pearsall will be required to miss at least four games with this designation and will be eligible to return in Week 5 when the 49ers take on the Cardinals.
Ricky Pearsall

SF Wide Receiver #14

The 49ers announced WR Ricky Pearsall was released from the hospital on Sunday afternoon.

This is today’s second positive report regarding Pearsall’s health. His mother also shared via social media, “no vital organs were struck in the attack.” Pearsall’s continuing recovery has taken another step in the right direction.
