Kyle Shanahan said Christian McCaffrey has a “mild” hamstring strain. 2026-10-26 19:00:02 That explains McCaffrey’s brief departure in the team’s Week 7 loss to the Falcons, when the veteran alpha missed most of the second quarter but returned for the second half. 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan added that he believes McCaffrey will be fine when the team comes out of their Week 8 bye. “We’re pretty optimistic,” he said Monday. Fantasy managers appear to have dodged a bullet with the first-round fantasy powerhouse but will want to continue to monitor reports from the team through their bye. |

Christian McCaffrey rushed seven times for 39 yards and a touchdown in the 49ers’ Week 7 loss to the Falcons, adding 61 receiving yards on six catches. 2026-10-25 17:00:02 McCaffrey scored a touchdown on the first drive of the game and had six touches, which seemed to set the tone for a massive workload. However, he also picked up a thigh injury on that drive and didn’t return again until the third quarter. The 49ers seemed to give him a few extra breaks in the second half, but McCaffrey didn’t look any less explosive. He was also half a yard away from catching a touchdown pass in the fourth quarter, but he was ruled down short of the end zone, and then Brock Purdy threw a touchdown pass to Kyle Juszczyk on the next play. The 49ers have a bye next week, so we doubt McCaffrey’s thigh injury will be an issue when we see them next in Week 9. |

Christian McCaffrey (thigh) returned to the game in Week 7 against the Falcons. 2026-10-25 15:00:03 McCaffrey was injured on the first drive of the game when the 49ers scored a touchdown. The training staff was working on his thigh before he jogged into the locker room in the second quarter and was listed as questionable to return. It was a 14-3 49ers lead when McCaffrey went into the locker room, and it’s 19-14 in favor of the Falcons now, so the team is gonna see if their star running back can get them back in front. |

Christian McCaffrey is questionable to return to Week 7 against the Falcons with a thigh injury. 2026-10-25 14:00:02 McCaffrey was used heavily on the first drive with the 49ers down so many offensive players, and he came out of that drive with a touchdown but also a thigh injury. The trainers worked on him on the sideline for two drives before finally bringing him into the medical tent. The 49ers do have a bye next week, so they could try to get him back into the game, but they are also up 14-3 at this point, so the Falcons will likely need to get the game closer. Kaelon Black will continue to see a workhorse role while CMC is sidelined. |

Christian McCaffrey rushed 16 times for 64 yards and two touchdowns in the 49ers’ Week 6 win over the Commanders, adding 53 yards on nine receptions. 2026-10-20 01:00:01 McCaffrey set a season high with 25 touches and 26 opportunities in a game played without Deebo Samuel and in which Mike Evans departed just before the half with an aggravation of his Achilles injury. The veteran workhorse back again proved how high his ceiling can be with such a robust role through the air. A second quarter fumble was his first lost fumble since 2024, a stretch spanning over 500 touches since he last lost a fumble. McCaffrey remains an elite RB1 despite a difficult matchup on the ground against the Falcons in Week 7. |
