NFL news updates: Kyle Shanahan talks ‘lingering’ calf issue for Christian McCaffrey
Before Week 1 concluded, the San Francisco 49ers surprised the NFL world, particularly fantasy managers, with news of a calf strain to Christian McCaffrey. It was bothersome enough to sideline McCaffrey against the New York Jets. News broke of the injury about 90 minutes before kickoff in a game the Niners eventually won, 32-19.
Yahoo Sports has you covered with updates, news and notes from around the league as the season is now shifts to preparation for Week 2.
Let’s start with the Niners’ all-world running back.
What Kyle Shanahan said postgame about Christian McCaffrey
The 49ers will have a short week to prepare for Sunday’s game at the Minnesota Vikings. Is that enough time for McCaffrey to be ready to go or will Jordan Mason carry the rock again?
Head coach Kyle Shanahan wasn’t definitive of McCaffrey’s status for Week 2, but he did respond to an ESPN report that said there’s a “real chance” that the running back wouldn’t play next weekend.
“It’s amazing. That person must be God,” Shanahan said after the 49ers’ victory against the Jets. “We just found out he wasn’t playing today. I have no idea how he’s going to feel tomorrow, or the next day. I thought he was playing this whole week until today. So I don’t know who knows that he’s not playing next week.”
Of McCaffrey’s leg injury, Shanahan also said: “It’s been lingering the last few weeks. But it’s getting better and better and hopefully it’ll be better next week.”
On Tuesday, Shanahan said that McCaffrey would have played versus the Jets had it been a playoff game. McCaffrey is currently listed as day-to-day.
After a calf injury to Russell Wilson late in training camp put Justin Fields in the starting lineup for Week 1, the Steelers head into Week 2 with a question at quarterback after an 18-10 win at Atlanta in which Fields threw for 156 yards.
On Tuesday, head coach Mike Tomlin said the team is preparing Fields to be under center again and that Wilson will not practice fully on Wednesday. He added Wilson “feels better today than over the weekend.”
Report: Browns’ Njoku expected to miss ‘at least’ couple of weeks
Browns tight end David Njoku is considered “week-to-week,” according to head coach Kevin Stefanski. Njoku suffered an ankle injury during Cleveland‘s blowout loss to Dallas. Cleveland.com’s Mary Kay Cabot reported Tuesday that “he’s expected to miss at least a couple of games.”

Panthers place DT Derrick Brown on injured reserve
The Panthers placed Derrick Brown on injured reserve.
— Joe Person (@josephperson) September 10, 2024
Brown suffered a knee injury during Sunday’s loss to the Saints. He will not return this season.
“Definitely a huge loss, right? He’s one of our best players. That’s big shoes to fill,” said Panthers head coach Dave Canales on Tuesday. “But at the same time, we’ve got players in there, I want them to know and be encouraged. If you go in, you play with great technique, and you just do your job, we don’t need you to make the special plays that Derrick makes.
“Just do your job, help the guys on either side of you and that’s the truth of it. If you can play team football with a bunch of guys, you can have success.”
Brown, a 2023 Pro Bowler, set an NFL record for tackles by a defensive lineman in a season with 103 last year.
