Running back Christian McCaffrey and left tackle Trent Williams won’t be on the practice field for the 49ers on Tuesday.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan said McCaffrey’s back is stiff during his press conference and McCaffrey said, via multiple reports, that he believes the issue is “nothing serious.” Williams hurt his hamstring against the Bears and Shanahan said they are “giving it a shot” for Sunday’s game against the Seahawks.
