What to make of Christian McCaffrey’s absence from 49ers practice

Christian McCaffrey wasn’t in practice Wednesday, but there’s no real cause for concern.

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey sat out the team’s practice Wednesday in the lead up to a Week 12 showdown with the Green Bay Packers.

This is a slight departure from McCaffrey’s routine during his first two weeks back with the club after a nine-week absence due to Achilles tendinitis. During those first two weeks he was a limited participant in practice Wednesday and Thursday before getting a full practice in Friday.

Wednesday of Week 12 was a little different. The 49ers listed McCaffrey as a non-participant. His Achilles injury is still listed, but they also specified that his absence was for rest and was not injury related.

It makes sense that the team would rest McCaffrey given his workload in a Week 11 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. He played 59 snaps and notched 19 carries along with four receptions. The 23 touches were four more than his 19 the week prior.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan indicated the team plans to continue utilizing McCaffrey as much as possible in games, so an additional day off during the week would behoove a team trying to manage an Achilles issue for its superstar running back.

Chances are McCaffrey is back Thursday and ready to suit up Sunday against the Green Bay Packers.

If he isn’t back Thursday, there may be a bigger issue. For now, his absence is simply a rest day.

15 players on 49ers 1st practice report after Bye week

49ers practice report is BUSY:

The San Francisco 49ers came out of their Bye week expecting to get some players back from injuries.

An early practice participation report doesn’t give a clear picture of what an injury situation will look like on game day, but it was jarring to see the 49ers’ practice report from Wednesday’s practice.

The report featured 15 names, including two players not practicing due to injury and eight others limited for injury reasons. Left tackle Trent Williams was a non-participant for his usual veteran rest day. Cornerback Charvarius Ward was out for personal reasons.

This stage of the week doesn’t offer much info in regards to a player’s availability for Sunday, but it’ll be worth keeping a close eye on these injuries moving forward.

Here’s what Wednesday’s practice report looked like:

Did not participate

WR Chris Conley (hamstring)
DT Kevin Givens (groin)
CB Charvarius Ward (not injury related – personal matter)
LT Trent Williams (not injury related – resting player)

Conley suffered a hamstring injury in Week 8 and is considered week-to-week. Givens missed Week 8 with his groin issue. It’s unclear when Ward will return following the death of his one-year-old daughter, but he’ll surely be given whatever amount of time he needs.

Limited participation

DE Nick Bosa (hip)
OL Jon Feliciano (knee)
DL Yetur Gross-Matos (knee)
WR Jauan Jennings (hip)
RB Christian McCaffrey (Achilles)
K Jake Moody (ankle)
WR Deebo Samuel (rib, oblique)
P Mitch Wishnowsky (back)

Yikes! Chances are most of these limited practices are just precautionary. Bosa wasn’t listed by head coach Kyle Shanahan on the pre-practice participation report, so it’s unclear if he was banged up during practice. That’ll be worth keeping a close eye on throughout the week.

Full participation

CB Renardo Green (ankle)
RB Jordan Mason (shoulder)
LB Dee Winters (concussion)

Good signs here. Mason has been dealing with a shoulder injury since Week 6 and re-aggravated that issue in Week 8. Green got hurt on the final play of the team’s Week 8 game. Winters suffered a concussion in that same contest.

49ers WR Deebo Samuel hospitalized by illness

The 49ers star WR played three plays against the Chiefs on Sunday before being ruled out for the remainder of game due to an illness.

After playing only three plays against the Kansas City Chiefs in a Super Bowl rematch on Sunday, the San Francisco 49ers ruled out star playmaker Deebo Samuel for the remainder of the game due to an illness.

Following the game, Samuel’s illness reacquired a trip to the hospital. On Monday, head coach Kyle Shanahan revealed Samuel was hospitalized with a “pneumonia-like” illness. As of Monday, Samuel is still in the hospital.

“He went in last night,” Shanahan said  “I think it started acting up in the middle of the night Saturday night or early Sunday morning. And then it just kind of evolved as the day went. So once we found out he had the fluid in his lungs and stuff after the game, then I believe they sent him over there. I’m not sure the timeline of it, but I just found out that’s where he was Sunday night when I was at home.”

Shanahan told reporters he was unsure if Samuel would be able to return for the 49ers’ Week 8 contest against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football in Santa Clara.

With Brandon Aiyuk already ruled out for the season and Jauan Jennings also dealing with an injury, the 49ers could lean heavily on their rookie pass-catching duo of Ricky Pearsall and Jacob Cowing. Veteran Chris Conley and second-year wide receiver Ronnie Bell could also see an increased role in the passing game against the Cowboys.

49ers Week 3 injury report: 1 All-Pro out, 1 doubtful, 2 more questionable

The #49ers Week 3 injury report is out. Official updates on George Kittle, Nick Bosa and Charvarius Ward:

The San Francisco 49ers released their official Week 3 injury report following Friday’s practice and provided confirmation on the statuses of some of their ailing stars.

Here’s what the injury report looks like per head coach Kyle Shanahan:

Out

WR Deebo Samuel (calf)

Samuel was ruled out for Week 3 on Monday when Shanahan told reporters he’ll miss a couple weeks with a calf strain.

Doubtful

TE George Kittle (hamstring)

This is a brutal blow for the 49ers’ offense. Kittle was in line for a ton of targets due to Samuel and McCaffrey’s absences. The small silver lining is that the team hasn’t officially ruled him out, which means he could be on track to suit up in Week 4 after his hamstring injury cropped up in the middle of the week.

Questionable

DE Nick Bosa (rib)
CB Charvarius Ward (knee, hamstring)

Bosa and Ward were both surprise additions to the practice participation report on Thursday. Ward was out of Thursday’s session, but returned Friday. Defensive coordinator Nick Sorensen said the team held Ward out for precautionary reasons after he experienced soreness. Bosa was limited in Thursday’s session after a full practice on Wednesday. The 49ers will likely have an adequate replacement for Ward, it’s less likely they’ll have the depth to withstand a game without Bosa in their already struggling pass rush.

49ers offensive MVP listed as questionable for Week 1 matchup vs. Jets

Here’s the 49ers Week 1 injury report, which didn’t do much to quell their health concerns:

The San Francisco 49ers have a handful of significant injury question marks going into their season opener against the New York Jets.

Their official Week 1 injury report didn’t do much to quell any potential concerns on the health front. Two starters are listed as questionable with another starter listed as doubtful.

Here’s the full report:

Out

DE Yetur Gross-Matos (knee)
LB Dee Winters (ankle)

This isn’t a huge surprise with neither player practicing the first two days of practice. Ideally neither will miss significant time. Gross-Matos is the 49ers’ third DE who figures to play a major role on the defensive line. Winters will likely be a special teams contributor to start the year.

Doubtful

S Talanoa Hufanga (knee)

Hufanga didn’t get any training camp practices in. His limited participation the first two days of the week signaled he is still in the midst of a ramp up. It wouldn’t be a surprise if he’s back in action for Week 2 as he continues his recovery from a torn ACL late last season.

Questionable

RB Christian McCaffrey (calf/Achilles)
LG Aaron Banks (finger)

McCaffrey is certain he’s going to play which helps some of the uncertainty surrounding his status. Still, if team doctors decide he isn’t capable of playing Monday night it’s unlikely the 49ers will rush him onto the field in Week 1. If he’s unable to suit up or if he has a limited snap count it could mean a big night for RB Jordan Mason.

Banks’ finger issue didn’t keep him out of any practices which is a good sign. If he winds up not playing we may see Nick Zakelj or Ben Bartch at left guard.

Not listed

WR Jauan Jennings (ankle)
RB Isaac Guerendo (groin)

Jennings and Guerendo were both limited to start the week. They were full participants in Saturday’s session and not on the injury report.

The 49ers host the Jets at Levi’s Stadium on Monday night. Kickoff is slated for 5:15pm Pacific Time.

49ers Week 18 injury report: Help could be on the way at WR

Here’s the #49ers Week 18 injury report where reinforcements could be coming at WR:

There weren’t any surprises on the 49ers’ Week 18 injury report. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said cornerback Jason Verrett suffered a season-ending shoulder injury, but Verrett was on the practice squad and not required to show up on the status report for Sunday’s game.

No surprises is good news for San Francisco since they already had as many as seven players expected to miss the game, including running back Christian McCaffrey.

The 49ers have six players ruled out and four others listed as questionable. Two of the questionable players are wide receivers aiming to come off IR. In fact, the team could have as many as three WRs come off the injury report to play in Sunday’s game.

Here’s the full injury report:
