49ers RBs Christian McCaffrey, Elijah Mitchell both ailing

The San Francisco 49ers' top two running backs, Christian McCaffrey and Elijah Mitchell, are dealing with injuries heading into Sunday's NFC Championship Game at the Philadelphia Eagles.

McCaffrey aggravated a calf injury during last Sunday's 19-12 divisional round playoff win over the Dallas Cowboys while Mitchell sustained a groin injury.

San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan termed both running backs as day-to-day on Monday during a conference call with reporters. Shanahan also said defensive end Charles Omenihu (oblique) is day-to-day.

"We're expecting to get them all back for Sunday," said Shanahan, "but we'll see how it goes through the week with practice and everything.
