From the episode

McCaffrey, meanwhile, mispracticed with tightness. I don't think anyone's worried about that. He's going to mispractice every week this year. Kyle Shanahan said that. Yeah, but that was Achilles tendonitis, wasn't it? It was tightness in his calf.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalInjury

McCaffrey's calf tightness not a concern; expected ready for week one.

McCaffrey mispracticed with calf tightness (Achilles tendonitis), but Kyle Shanahan indicated he'll be ready for week one and would play if a game were tomorrow. The source notes this is a recurring issue (he'll mispractice every week) but not a major concern for availability.
