The San Francisco 49ers just breathed a collective sigh of relief. After sitting out a string of practices with an undisclosed injury, star running back Christian McCaffrey was seen back in uniform for Sunday’s training camp practice, appearing to have recovered.

Where Was Run CMC?

Before Sunday, it was all quiet on the McCaffrey front, and not in a good way. The star back had been sidelined, missing a string of practices due to an undisclosed injury. You know how those “undisclosed” tags go; they always make you wonder what’s really happening. For any team, a player of McCaffrey’s caliber sitting out is a major concern, especially with the 2026 NFL season on the horizon.

Back in the Mix, Just in Time

But then Sunday hit. McCaffrey showed up in uniform for training camp practice, a sight that must have been music to the 49ers’ ears. Not only was he present, but he also got straight into it, participating in individual drills. This isn’t just a casual stroll on the field; it signals he is back to work. His presence in those drills speaks volumes, confirming that he appears to have recovered from whatever kept him out.

This is huge for the 49ers as they gear up for the 2026 NFL season. Getting McCaffrey back on the field, even for individual drills during training camp, sets the tone. What’s next? Watch for him to ramp up as they push toward opening day.
