San Francisco 49ers star Christian McCaffrey will play Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks despite a calf issue that landed the running back on the injury report.
McCaffrey was added to the Niners' injury report as a limited participant Thursday and had been listed as questionable for the game after not practicing Friday.
He said Friday that he felt "great" and believed he would play in the season opener at Seattle.
"Unfortunately, when you have the injury history that I have, sometimes when you don't practice, things get blown out of proportion," he said. "But like I said, I feel great."
McCaffrey's addition to the injury report came after a promising offseason and training camp in which he had no apparent health issues. He appeared in just four games last season, missing the first eight because of bilateral Achilles tendinitis and then the final five after suffering a torn knee ligament.
