San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey was a full participant in Friday's practice after a load management day. Ahead of facing his former team, the Panthers, coach Kyle Shanahan admitted passing on McCaffrey in the 2017 NFL Draft was a mistake, calling him "the right pick" in hindsight. Since joining the 49ers in 2022, McCaffrey has amassed over 5,000 scrimmage yards in 42 games and earned NFL Offensive Player of the Year in 2023.
