49ers’ Shanahan regrets not keeping McCaffrey fresh with Elijah Mitchell vs. Rams

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 12:00:49 GMT

He also caught three passes for 19 yards.After playing all 57 snaps against the Rams, McCaffrey has been off the field for only 10 plays through two games — having played 58 of 68 snaps against the Steelers in the opener. He leads the NFL with 268 yards rushing and averaging 6.4 yards per carry.Shanahan had some regret about McCaffrey going wire-to-wire against the Rams, with Elijah Mitchell not playing at all after getting 10 snaps against the Steelers. Getting McCaffrey a rushing title isn’t a priority as much as having him upright deep into the season.“We’ve definitely got to get Elijah in there more and do better with our r...
