The Story in Brief
San Francisco 49ers star running back Christian McCaffrey missed two consecutive practices due to what the team calls 'tightness'. Offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak told reporters McCaffrey is 'doing fine' and the team is carefully managing his workload. The 30-year-old led the NFL with 413 scrimmage touches last season.
The 49ers face a depth crisis in the running back room. Three potential backups are injured: rookie Kaelon Black (adductor), Jordan James (broken ribs) and Isaac Guerendo (torn pectoral muscle). With McCaffrey sidelined, San Francisco used Patrick Taylor Jr., Sincere McCormick and Khalil Herbert in Monday's practice.
The Indian Opinion
Fans worried about 'tightness' should remember the 49ers are in preseason load management, not panic mode. The real story is the empty backup room: three runners injured, leaving McCaffrey's 413-touch season without a safety net. The test comes when the games count, will San Francisco finally let someone else carry the ball?
