Christian McCaffrey 'as healthy as can be,' says 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan from OTAs

Our Summary

The San Francisco 49ers received uplifting news at their OTAs with head coach Kyle Shanahan announcing that running back Christian McCaffrey is fully healthy. Last season, McCaffrey was limited to four games due to Achilles tendinitis and a knee injury, which hindered his performance. Now, videos from team workouts show him making sharp cuts and displaying burst, exciting fans about his recovery for the upcoming season. Previously, McCaffrey led the NFL with career-high stats and earned numerous accolades. His absence last season affected the team's rushing performance, but his return is promising. Meanwhile, with other injuries in the squad and roster changes, new players will have the opportunity to step up during McCaffrey’s potential paternity leave during training camp.
