The San Francisco 49ers received good news on the injury front. According to head coach Kyle Shanahan, Christian McCaffrey will miss Week 18 with a mild calf strain. But it doesn’t sound like McCaffrey suffered an injury that will keep him out for an extended, and he should be good to go for the playoffs.
Cornerback Ambry Thomas will miss the regular season finale, too. Shanahan said that Thomas, who played with a cast in Week 17, will get surgery on his broken hand. I asked Shanahan if Thomas would play with a club after surgery, and he said it’d be something similar to what Ambry wore this past Sunday.
