While their statuses are not in jeopardy, three of the 49ers’ top offensive players are nevertheless dealing with notable injuries ahead of Sunday’s NFC title game showdown with the Eagles. 

Christian McCaffrey (calf), fellow running back Elijah Mitchell (groin) and Deebo Samuel (ankle) are each on the 49ers’ injury report. McCaffrey and Mitchell missed their second consecutive practice on Thursday. Samuel, who was a limited participant on Wednesday, was limited again during Thursday’s practice. 

Defensive end Charles Omenihu has been limited the past two days with an oblique injury. Omenihu was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence earlier in the week. 

The 49ers are 12-1 since acquiring McCaffrey before the trade deadline. While he has been one of the NFL’s most productive offensive players since joining the 49ers, McCaffrey was clearly compromised during last weekend’s divisional round win over the Cowboys. McCaffrey, while playing primarily on third down, was held to 35 yards on 10 carries and 22 yards on six receptions.
