McCaffrey is coming off seeing 413 total touches last season. He was held out of team drills on Thursday. 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan previously said he wants less “wear and tear” on McCaffrey this season.

Christian McCaffrey had eight carries for a season-low 23 yards and caught six passes for 34 yards during San Francisco's 13-3 setback to Seattle on Saturday night.

McCaffrey's six receptions did put him into the NFL record books as he became the first running back to register three different 100-catch seasons. However, it was the catch he didn't make that proved costly for the 49ers as a Brock Purdy pass attempt went off his hands and into the arms of Seattle's Drake Thomas at the Seahawks' three-yard line early in the fourth. The 23 rushing yards and the 57 yards from scrimmage marked season-lows for McCaffrey.
