Christian McCaffrey, a running back for the San Francisco 49ers, is having a solid 2022 season. McCaffrey started the season playing for the Carolina Panthers before being traded to the 49ers in Week 7.

McCaffrey has played all eleven games this season but was marked questionable by the team ahead of Week 13. The 49ers faced the New Orleans Saints last week and came away with a 13-0 victory. However, running backs Christian McCaffrey and Elijah Mitchell suffered injuries and were listed as questionable ahead of this week's game.

McCaffrey did not participate in the weekly practice sessions because of a knee injury. He entered last week's game against the Saints with knee irritation. The RB star wore a small brace on his knee and was seen on the sidelines throughout the second half.

Christian McCaffrey is now officially off the injury list and will start the game against the Miami Dolphins this Sunday. It will be a good option to have him on your starting roster, as the 49ers will depend on him.
