Christian McCaffrey

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.
