San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey looks to be healed from the calf injury that hampered him for most of the summer.

Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, McCaffrey is expected to practice on Tuesday with six days remaining before the Niners open the regular season against the New York Jets.

McCaffrey dealt with injury concerns before the season even started, as a calf setback forced him to miss time during training camp and the preseason. He also played a combined 10 games during the 2020 and 2021 seasons when he was on the Carolina Panthers.
