Tuesday marked the start of the 49ers’ divisional playoff preparations against the Green Bay Packers. Head coach Kyle Shanahan says they’ll do so with running back Christian McCaffrey as a full participant.
One of the main reasons San Francisco sorely needed the first-round playoff bye was because of McCaffrey’s calf strain. After getting hurt during the team’s victory over the Commanders in Week 17, he was sidelined for the season finale against the Rams due to a calf injury. He’s back in practice now, and he should be ready to play in the 49ers’ opening round playoff game.
This was always the plan, and Shanahan never really suggested that there was any concern that McCaffrey wouldn’t play in the postseason.
