San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan cleared the air about running back Christian McCaffrey’s health situation this week.

McCaffrey had been dealing with a calf issue heading into the 49ers’ Divisional Round playoff matchup with the Green Bay Packers this past Saturday, but he seemed unaffected as he carried the ball 17 times for 98 yards and a couple of touchdowns while also logging seven catches for 30 yards.

However, the TV broadcast caught McCaffrey getting his quad worked on while he was on the sideline, which had some wondering whether or not the star halfback had suffered another injury.

Shanahan has put those concerns to rest.

“No, I heard about that on the TV [broadcast] because some of my family members asked me about it,” Shanahan said, via Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk. “But that’s just what Christian to me always does. He’s always working on his body and stuff. I was told nothing about his quad.”

That has to be a major sigh of relief for San Francisco fans, especially considering that wide receiver Deebo Samuel is up in the air for the NFC Championship Game against the Detroit Lions due to a shoulder injury he suffered versus the Packers.

McCaffrey may be the most instrumental piece in the Niners’ offense.

This season, he led the league with 1,459 rushing yards to go along with 14 rushing touchdowns. He averaged a robust 5.4 yards per carry and also caught 67 passes for 564 yards and seven scores.

The 49ers initially acquired McCaffrey midway through the 2022 season, when they swung a trade to acquire him from the Carolina Panthers at the deadline.

Christian McCaffrey and Co. will attempt to punch their ticket to the Super Bowl this weekend.
