Christian McCaffrey Limited Heading Into Favorable TNF Game
2 years agoSan Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey has been limited at practice with a knee injury. He has been limited at practice during each of the last two weeks, too, and ended up playing. His official status should be known on Thursday.
If he plays, McCaffrey has a favorable matchup against the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday Night Football. The Seahawks have allowed the fifth-most rushing yards, fourth-most rushing touchdowns, and third-most receiving yards to opposing running backs. They have allowed an average of 135.4 rushing yards in their past five games and over 200 rushing yards in two of their past three games. The 49ers rushed for 189 yards against the Seahawks in Week 2, before McCaffrey joined the team. McCaffrey may get added volume with Deebo Samuel (ankle) missing this game. He is likely to finish as a high-end RB1.
