Golden Nuggets: Such a tease today
49ers-Jets Injuries: 2 players ruled out on either side
“Now, the lingering question is whether McCaffrey will play, and if so, how involved will he be. The answer to the first question is yes, McCaffrey is expected to play. John Lynch said as much this week and McCaffrey said Friday he will play in full.
Will there be limitations? Probably. Kyle Shanahan stated explicitly in training camp that it was a goal for him to limit some of McCaffrey’s touches this season, so the idea of him being a bell cow in the opener seems dubious. Jordan Mason should be somewhat involved. That said, if the 49ers are trailing, Shanahan has showed he’ll ride McCaffrey. It could depend on the flow of the game.”
