None of the injuries to 49ers' standouts Christian McCaffrey (oblique), Deebo Samuel (shoulder) and Trent Williams (ankle) are considered long-term, per sources. Each has a chance to be ready for Monday night's game at Minnesota, though the work week will help determine who can…

REST THE GUY !!!
we need to see 24 and 32... Especially Price since we used a 3rd on the guy !!
At the sametime it's very crucial to get that #1 seed. The Pats made a dynasty out of getting that #1 seed. It makes the path to the SB so much easier.

I think if McCaffrey is ok, and it's just a pain tolerance thing, then we should baby him all week, and play him Monday. Hopefully we start blowing them out, and then we can let Mason/Mitchell finish the game.

AGREE... but risking CMC by beating the Vikes still does not gives us that #1 seed... we still need to face those Eagles..

Rest him this week, so he doesn't take the extra pounding on turf. I know all player will want to play under the lights of Monday night though.

If CMC is good to go this week, I think he should only be in redzone packages.

Between the 40s run out Mitchell and Mason to get them reps.

Shanahan was asked Thursday if McCaffrey's current workload is sustainable.
"I mean, we treat him as our starting running back," the coach responded. "So, I don't really think of how many touches we want to get somebody in a year, that's week-to-week and how the game goes. But he gets a lot more extra because he gets thrown to so much in the passing game. I'm happy with how he's being used. I'm happy with how he's been playing, and we'll see how the rest of the year goes."
