49ers-Eagles Injury Report: Christian McCaffrey cleared to play Sunday; Elijah Mitchell “questionable”

The San Francisco 49ers are preparing for their NFC Championship Game contest against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Christian McCaffrey returned to practice on Friday after missing Wednesday’s and Thursday’s sessions. The star running back recently declared there is “zero” chance he misses Sunday’s game. The 49ers did not list him on their game status report, indicating he will play.

“He looked full go,” head coach Kyle Shanahan declared after practice.

Elijah Mitchell did not practice on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday due to a groin injury. However, he got some individual work before Friday’s practice. San Francisco listed the running back and cornerback Ambry Thomas as “questionable” for Sunday. Thomas is attempting to return from an ankle injury sustained on December 15.

As expected, Jimmy Garoppolo has been ruled out for this weekend’s game. Shanahan reminded reporters this week that the veteran quarterback’s chance of being available for the NFC Championship Game was also an “outside chance.”
