49ers star RB Christian McCaffrey was a surprise inactive Monday as he continues to deal with a calf and Achilles injury.
Adam Schefter reports on the 49ers listing Christian McCaffrey as inactive for the season-opening matchup with the Jets on"Monday Night Football." Nick Wagoner is an NFL reporter at ESPN. Nick has covered the San Francisco 49ers and the NFL at ESPN since 2016, having previously covered the St. Louis Rams for 12 years, including three years at ESPN.
On Friday, McCaffrey even said he was hopeful that he would get his usual heavy workload and general manager John Lynch told KNBR radio on Friday morning that McCaffrey would"be out there and ready to roll." But, even after participating on a limited basis in four practices this week, McCaffrey was ruled out against the Jets about 90 minutes before the game as one of their six inactives .
