49ers’ Christian McCaffrey dealing with illness before Titans game

Christian McCaffrey, the star running back for the San Francisco 49ers, is expected to play in Week 15 against the Tennessee Titans despite dealing with an illness that caused him to miss practice earlier in the week. After being a limited participant, he returned to full practice on Friday, alleviating concerns about his availability for the game.

The Carolina Panthers reported a significant development as cornerback Jaycee Horn was upgraded on the injury report, fully participating in practice ahead of their Week 15 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. This marks Horn's first full practice since suffering a concussion during a previous game against the San Francisco 49ers.

Titans sideline reporter Will Boling was removed from the team charter after sharing a story about quarterback Cam Ward during a flight, raising concerns about team confidentiality and media relations. This incident follows a challenging period for Ward, who has faced scrutiny over his performance and decision-making on the field.

Shedeur Sanders, the rookie quarterback for the Cleveland Browns, has been navigating skepticism regarding his abilities, often perceived as relying on his father's legacy. After being drafted in the fifth round, he demonstrated his skills during training camp and recently stepped in as a backup, leading the team to a victory against the Las Vegas Raiders, marking a significant moment in his early career.
