McCaffrey Is Cleared; Evans and Deebo Are Out; Skattebo Is Doubtful
Friday evening Week 9 stamps: CMC has no designation vs. the Raiders, Evans/Deebo/Kirk are out, Saquon plays, and Cam Skattebo is doubtful so lean Singletary.
Friday’s final injury designations bring a few more Week 9 lineup decisions into focus.
Christian McCaffrey has no game designation against Las Vegas. After missing Wednesday’s practice and being limited Thursday, CMC is cleared for Sunday. Start him. (49ers injury report)
Mike Evans, Deebo Samuel, and Christian Kirk are out. San Francisco rules out Evans (ribs/Achilles), Samuel (hamstring), and Kirk (knee). Keep all three out of your lineup. Demarcus Robinson (ankle) is questionable; don’t count on him until his availability is confirmed. (NBC Sports)
Saquon Barkley has no game designation; DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks are out. Barkley remains limited Friday with hamstring/back injuries but is expected to play against the Giants. Start him. Smith and Wicks miss their third straight game. (Eagles injury report)
Cam Skattebo is doubtful; have Devin Singletary ready. Skattebo (hamstring) returns to limited practice Friday after two missed sessions. If he sits, Singletary becomes a volume-based FLEX option against Philadelphia. Plan another starter for Skattebo unless Sunday’s inactives change the picture. (Giants injury report)
Still watching: Hunter Henry is questionable with a foot injury. Wait for Sunday’s inactives before considering Eli Raridon.
