Shanahan: McCaffrey absence not contract-related

Shanahan told reporters after Tuesday's joint practice with the Chargers that there is no contract-related issue between McCaffrey and the team. 'I think they make a lot of assumptions and that would be one that they're wrong on,' Shanahan said.

McCaffrey, who turned 30 in June, has been sidelined with tightness while dealing with his injury history. The 49ers have not specified where the tightness is occurring. McCaffrey registered a career-high 413 touches in 17 regular-season games last season, plus 37 more in postseason games. truewildgame.online
