Christian McCaffrey (RB - SF)

9/7/26 11:20 AM - Christian McCaffrey not at practice on Monday. RB reportedly did not take part in drills in Australia

Nick Bosa and Christian McCaffrey were not taking part in drills in the early portion of 49ers practice that was open to the media. George Kittle is practicing. (Matt Maiocco on Twitter)

FF Today's Take: Fantasy managers know the drill by now: CMC is a lot of fun to have on the team when he is off the injury report or at practice. Typically, a Monday missed practice is not a concern, but Monday is essentially a Thursday for the 49ers and Rams this week with the teams competing in Australia in three days. The best thing that managers of McCaffrey can do at the moment is make sure they are rostering Kaelon Black (at the very least).
