Christian McCaffrey muscle tightness: what Shanahan said
San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey has been sidelined from some practice time due to muscle tightness, but HC Kyle Shanahan pushed back on any concern Tuesday. Shanahan said McCaffrey would have practiced had it been a normal session rather than a joint practice against the Chargers.
The team also has no reason to believe the missed time is contract related, per Shanahan.
Fantasy impact
Two things are confirmed here: the issue is muscle tightness, and the 49ers are not treating it as serious enough to hold him out of a standard practice. The contract holdout angle is off the table according to the organization.
For fantasy managers, this looks like routine maintenance. Keep McCaffrey on your roster and watch for a practice participation update as the preseason continues.
