#49ers CB Ambry Thomas has an ankle injury. TE George Kittle has a toe issue. Both will be day to day as we head toward Super Bowl LVIII, according to Kyle Shanahan.

Running back Christian McCaffrey suffered a right shoulder in the NFC Championship Game, but the 2023 rushing champion is just fine and should be at or near 100 percent for the Super Bowl in Las Vegas, Nevada.

McCaffrey said his shoulder “felt a little weird” at game’s end and he didn’t want to rush losing his grip on the ball. That’s why Elijah Mitchell got the late carries. McCaffrey said the shoulder’s not an issue. “I feel fine now,” he said.
