As the San Francisco 49ers prepare to take on the New York Jets in their Monday Night Football season opener, everyone’s excited about star running back Christian McCaffrey. After a rough preseason filled with injuries, McCaffrey’s status for the game has been a hot topic for fans and fantasy football enthusiasts.
McCaffrey’s been battling a calf strain that kept him out of the entire preseason. On top of that, he’s also battling a minor Achilles issue, though the team doesn’t consider it a big deal. The 49ers have listed McCaffrey as questionable for the game against the Jets, but sources indicate he will likely play unless something major goes wrong.
Even with the injuries, McCaffrey isn’t sweating it—he’s straight up said his calf and Achilles are “not a concern” as game day gets closer. He’s got a positive vibe going, and NFL insiders are on the same page, thinking he’s good to go for the matchup.
The official word on McCaffrey’s status will probably come right before the game, when the 49ers release their inactives list at 6:45 PM ET. Fans and fantasy owners should definitely keep an eye on that announcement to get the latest update!
