Teddy Bridgewater questionable for Week 5

Former Raiders RB Zamir White is signing with the 49ers.

This is more than likely just a camp body to battle at the edge of the roster bubble, but it is also a direct reaction to James (rib) and Black (adductor) missing time during camp. Black seemed like he was in the lead for the No. 2 role behind CMC, but we'll have to see how the next few weeks play out.

Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka limped off with athletic trainers. Was examined on the sideline table for a while. Hard to see exactly what’s up from where we are but he’s still on the table and hasn’t returned.

Garafolo later followed up that, "Egbuka, with both cleats off, just walked back to the sideline to watch the rest of practice." Considering he came back out to the sideline without help, we shouldn't put a ton of stock in a significant injury. For now, he remains a fringe WR2/3 unless we hear something more dire here.

49ers running back Christian McCaffrey missed practice again Tuesday. Offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak attributed McCaffrey’s absence on Monday to tightness, with nothing more specific.

Coach Kyle Shanahan, though, said he is not concerned by McCaffrey’s current setback.

“No,” Shanahan said, via David Bonilla of 49erswebzone.com. “My concern would be him toughing through tightness, like a lot of people do, and then hurting something bad, and then pulling something, which then, it could be a month. That would be our concern, so once we hear him talking a certain way, Christian’s a guy who needs to get prepared for Week 1."

As the story points out, the concern is McCaffrey had calf tightness during the 2024 training camp that carried into the season. He played only four games with what was later announced as Achilles tendinitis and a separate injury to his posterior collateral ligament. There is no reason to panic just yet, but it's easy to understand why fantasy owners may be paying close attention to this situation. CMC is 30 and led the league last year with 413 touches.
