But definitely, I knew I was going to be good regardless of what the test said, so it's more of a cautionary situation, being smart about it, than doing something stupid."McCaffrey would have "100 percent" been able to play this week, he said, if the game meant anything, but the 49ers already have sewn up the NFC's No. 1 seed.McCaffrey leads the league with 1,459 rushing yards and 2,023 scrimmage yards.
