San Francisco All-Pro running back Christian McCaffrey is listed as questionable for the season opener against the New York Jets with a sore calf and Achilles.
McCaffrey got hurt early in training camp and missed four weeks of practice before returning to the field this week. He was limited all week in practice and is officially questionable for Monday night's game despite saying Friday he had no doubt he would play. The 49ers also will have All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams and star receiver Brandon Aiyuk available for the opener after they missed all of training camp practices during contract disputes.
In 27 games for the Niners, McCaffrey has rushed for 2,205 yards and 20 touchdowns and caught 119 passes for 1,028 yards and 11 scores. He led the NFL last season with 2,023 yards from scrimmage and was tied for the league lead with 21 touchdowns, winning AP Offensive Player of the Year. Quarterback Brock Purdy said he doesn't envision problems building back the chemistry with McCaffrey, Williams and Aiyuk despite the lack of practice time all summer.
