Back on the field on Sunday, Christian McCaffrey, he had not practiced in 2 weeks.
McCaffrey says, by the way, his absence was in no way contract related, as some had speculated.
It was about maintenance and getting ready for the new season. Uh, you know, obviously, when
you don't practice, um, you know, the way, the way the media works now is, uh, Firestorm, but,
you know, this was kind of part of the plan from the jump was to ramp up pretty big, get 9,
10 practices in, uh, kind of come back down and then ramp back up so we're fresh for the
duration. So, you know, our staff's done a great job of kind of coming up with specific
plans and, uh, you know, again, I feel great.
