Trending searches: what happened to christian mccaffrey
all right on my way for a jog and then a burrito here in the Mission District but first a major 49ers injury update one of the best players in the NFL Christian mcaffrey has strained his calf I asked Kyle Shanahan how long he expects mcaffrey to be out and Shanahan said about two weeks we didn't expect Christian to play in the preseason to begin with and now that is a virtual certainty for is also missing Elijah Mitchell for about a week with a hamstring strain and Isa gendo had already previously suffered an high hamstring strain so the rookie also will not be available in Nashville for the game against the Titans on Saturday that's meant that the 49ers had to resign Matt breida old friend played running back for them had a lot of big runs including that game opener the touchdown against Cleveland untouched into the end zone where he waved at the Defenders as he pulled away near the 20 yard line Matt breid has been resigned he's probably going to see action for the 49ers Jordan Mason is from Nashville so Jordan Mason's going to get to play back in his hometown and he's been performing very well today in Red Zone work they split Mason out in the slot kind of like they do for Christian mcaffrey a lot and Mason handled it perfectly was the first read for Brock Birdie on the play touchdown for the 49ers Mason showcased his quality hands he's been working in that Nashville area over the course of the offseason on the jugs machine so Jordan Mason look good for for the 49ers he's going to be in charge of seeing a fair share of carries in this game on Saturday but I think they also want to get a good look at Cody shrer shrer is the undrafted free agent out of Missouri who actually led the SEC in rushing last year other 49ers injuries um there's one on special teams Mitch wisnowski the punter actually is dealing with some KN irritation and Kyle Shanahan said that the 49ers are going to have to make a move at punter to get through the game on Saturday so look for another 49er signing coming up
