San Francisco 49ers All-Pro running back Christian McCaffrey will miss about two weeks of practice after straining his calf.
McCaffrey hurt his calf late last week, adding that he didn't pull a muscle, coach Kyle Shanahan said Tuesday. McCaffrey wouldn't play in the preseason but should be back at practice well before the start of the regular season on Sept. 9, he said. McCaffrey has helped transform San Francisco's offense since being acquired in a trade from Carolina midway through the 2022 season.
That led San Francisco to sign veteran Matt Breida to add depth to the backfield before the exhibition opener on Saturday night at Tennessee. Breida spent his first three seasons in the NFL with San Francisco, rushing for 1,902 yards and six TDs in 43 games from 2017-19. Breida led San Francisco in rushing with 814 yards in 2018 and averaged 5.0 yards per carry during those three seasons.
