Christian McCaffrey Sits Out Practice With Soreness

Monday, August 10, 11:58 AM

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey sat out Monday's practice with some soreness, but offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak does not sound concerned. According to Matt Barrows, Kubiak said the team is "just managing" McCaffrey and added that he is "fine." Kubiak later explained that McCaffrey always has a rep count during camp and that his workload is right where the 49ers want it. There is good reason for San Francisco to be careful after McCaffrey led the NFL with 413 touches last season. He played all 17 games, running for 1,202 yards and 10 touchdowns while catching 102 passes for another 924 yards and seven scores. No specific injury has been announced. McCaffrey is still RotoBaller's No. 4 overall player in current PPR rankings. Unless the soreness lingers or keeps him out for an extended stretch, this looks like routine summer maintenance for one of the league's busiest backs.

Jets to Feature Breece Hall More Prominently in 2026

Sunday, August 9, 6:10 PM

New York Jets running back Breece Hall is expected to be featured more prominently as the team's lead back this season. After signing Hall to a four-year contract extension this summer, the Jets plan to build their workload around him, with Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis working behind him. In his fourth season, Hall had 243 carries for 1,065 yards and four touchdowns, along with 36 receptions for 350 yards and one touchdown. His receiving workload saw a massive dip last season, falling from over 4.75 targets per game to just three in 2025. Hall will need to be a major factor in the passing game alongside quarterback Geno Smith to reach his current ADP.
