After stating he had no doubt about playing, Christian McCaffrey was ruled out last minute for the 49ers' opener against the Jets due to injury.
Despite optimism from teammates and coaches, Christian McCaffrey would not participate against the Jets, highlighting the fine line between confidence and readiness when returning from injury.
Coach Kyle Shanahan initially expected McCaffrey to recover quickly, but despite limited participation in practices, the decision ultimately hinged on his lack of consistent practice due to injury.
Run game coordinator Chris Foerster noted that even though McCaffrey looked good in practice, the lack of daily practice could add a layer of rust that impacted readiness.
