Christian McCaffrey has a positive update about his health status, to the relief of 49ers fans.

Speaking on SiriusXM’s NFL Training Camp Tour, the San Francisco running back explained to Amber Theoharis how his injury rehab has been coming along.

“Yeah, I feel great,” McCaffrey said. “Very cautionary stuff. If we had a game I would play, but just trying to be smart right now. Still training, still getting a bunch of work in, so come Week 1, I’ll be ready to roll.”
