Kyle Shanahan indicated that while RB Christian McCaffrey is currently out, discussions regarding his long-term health, including the potential for IR, are ongoing.
Shanahan expressed confidence in the team's depth at running back, noting that both Jordan Mason and new players Isaac Guerendo and Patrick Taylor Jr. are ready to step up if needed.
When asked about the potential over-reliance on WR Deebo Samuel for carries, Shanahan acknowledged the importance of managing player workloads week by week.
Despite McCaffrey's absence, Shanahan reassured reporters about the team's capabilities, emphasizing that they do not view backups simply as second-string but as capable starters.
