Christian McCaffrey was ruled inactive for the season opener against the Jets due to an ankle/Achilles injury, leading to Jordan Mason starting in his place.
Kyle Shanahan stated he never told Jordan Mason he would be starting, despite Mason claiming he learned about the start on Friday before the game.
The NFL investigated the 49ers' handling of McCaffrey's injury report and concluded there was no violation of the league's Injury Report Policy.
With McCaffrey missing his second game against the Vikings, Jordan Mason is again expected to be the starting running back for the 49ers.
