49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (calf, Achilles) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He was limited all three days last week before winding up inactive for the Jets game.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport calls 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (calf, Achilles) a "long shot" to play vs. the Vikings this weekend, based on conversations with the team.

The team has never expressed any concern about McCaffrey's availability for the opener, but the questionable listing should at least have fantasy owners on their toes.
