Christian McCaffrey is questionable to play in Monday’s opener against the Haason Reddick-less Jets
San Francisco 49ers’ Nick Bosa head bumps San Francisco 49ers’ Christian McCaffrey during practice during the Super Bowl bye week at the 49ers practice facility in Santa Clara, Calif., on Thursday, Feb. 1, 2024. SANTA CLARA — The 49ers aren’t quite ready to give Christian McCaffrey the green light to play in Monday’s season opener, after being limited in practice by calf and Achilles issues.
Coach Kyle Shanahan declined to elaborate whether McCaffrey will be a game-time decision. Kickoff is set for 5:15 p.m. Monday at Levi’s Stadium against the New York Jets. Winters, a sixth-round pick last year, flashed throughout the offseason and camp, but it appears that De’Vondre Campbell will start alongside Fred Warner at linebacker in the base defense.Bosa noted that he and Kevin Givens are the defensive line’s only holdovers dating back to the 2019 season.
Another reason for Bosa’s optimism is the months-long work from this crux of defensive linemen. Last season, the 49ers scrambled to add reinforcements, such as trading for Chase Young and Randy Gregory in October. “In this scheme the details are very important and if you’re not repping through in July and August, you’ll be behind and it shows in your get-off and how fast you’re playing,” Bosa said. “All those details really count.
