49ers running back Christian McCaffrey won't play in the preseason after straining his calf in Sunday's practice. He has not participated in practice since.McCaffrey, though, said his rehab is strictly precautionary."Yeah, I feel great," McCaffrey said on SiriusXM NFL Radio on Friday, via 49erswebzone.com.
