Even warmer temperatures are expected this afternoon with upper 70s to low 80s at the coast and widespread lower 90s across the interior. All 33 passengers and a crew member who were trapped in a bunk room below deck died. This 49ers’ regime of coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch has historically made trade-deadline deals, and now they’ve made one with someone they’ve known all 26 years of his life. Before McCaffrey came to Levi’s Stadium as a 2017 rookie, he recalled how Shanahan may have been his babysitter in their Colorado days, when Ed McCaffrey (Christian’s dad) played for the Broncos from 1995-2003 under Mike Shanahan (Kyle’s dad).. Shanahan noted back in 2017 that McCaffrey’s dad, Ed, “was the man” and was why Shanahan used to wear No." He is accused of failing to train his crew, conduct fire drills and post a roving night watchman on the boat when the fire ignited. The event is part performance and part celebration, combining a dance choreographed by company artistic director Graham Lustig with food, live music, traditional Dia de los Muertos costumes and decorations, and more. 87 in college. Speaking of college, Lynch went to Stanford and played with Ed McCaffrey. Asked earlier Thursday if the 49ers would enter the trade market, Lynch told KNBR 680-AM: “Because we had a very complete roster, the best trade we can make right now are with the inactive list or IR list, just to get our guys back.” Lynch then mentioned the likely returns of defensive end Nick Bosa and left tackle Trent Williams, rather than single out Elijah Mitchell, their season-opening running back who’s been out since Week 1 with a sprained knee. Mitchell is expected to miss two more games then return after the bye. Details: 2:30 and 7:30 p. Here are some pros and cons to consider of McCaffrey coming back to the Bay Area and joining the 49ers (3-3) ahead of Sunday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs (4-2). INJURY HISTORY McCaffrey , 26, has seen his career derailed in recent seasons by injuries, not to mention the fact he is on one of the NFL’s worst franchises. He missed 23 of 33 games in the 2020-21 seasons. The 49ers, with their run-oriented offense, annually have seen their running backs get hurt, to the point it’s become a disturbing routine they rely on five a season. So, adding an injury-plagued running back to the mix doesn’t sound like smart business. Oct. But McCaffrey has been healthy this season. His team, however, has been so ill that it fired its coach after the 49ers beat the Panthers two Sundays ago. The 49ers have been without Mitchell since his season-opening knee sprain. The 49ers are otherwise almost back up to full health in their running back corps. Fill-in starter Jeff Wilson Jr.m. is beloved — at least he was before last Sunday’s first-quarter fumble in Atlanta — and still awaiting their true NFL shot are rookies Ty Davis-Price and Jordan Mason. Tevin Coleman has responded with hot-then-cold appearances as Wilson’s backup. While McCaffrey joins that mix, it will be fascinating to see if the 49ers also line him up in the backfield with “wide back” Deebo Samuel, whose dual-threat talents keyed the 49ers’ playoff push last seaosn. McCAFFREY’S STYLE Back in 2017, McCaffrey seemed like an ideal, multi-purpose threat for an offense that maximizes such dual-threat talents, such as Samuel (receiving/rushing), George Kittle (receiving/blocking) and, up until a Week 2 ankle fracture, Trey Lance (receiving/rushing). McCaffrey has almost as many career rushing yards (3,980) as receiving yards (3,292). A Handel masterwork: When this year’s holiday season rolls around, the Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra will return to the well-trod glories of Handel’s “Messiah. The 49ers’ offense, which is averaging just 20.3 points per game, needs that extra output. Their rushing attack, the root of their offense, ranks just 12th at 124 yards per game. Even this season, with Baker Mayfield struggling as the Panthers’ latest quarterback, McCaffrey has been the go-to guy. He has 393 rushing yards (85 carries, two touchdowns) and 277 receiving yards (33 catches, one touchdown).m. His 4.6 yards-per-carry average is his best since his 2019 All-Pro season, when he ran for 1,387 yards (15 touchdowns) and totaled 1,005 receiving yards (four touchdowns). 49ERS’ OTHER NEEDS When the 49ers have pulled the trigger on a mid-season trade, they’ve addressed needed depth: quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo in 2017, wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (2019), and defensive ends Jordan Willis (2020) and Charles Omenihu (2021). Sparking their offense is a need, to complement Samuel, Kittle, Brandon Aiyuk, Kyle Juszczyk, and, yes, Garoppolo. That offensive not only is getting McCaffrey, but left tackle Trent Williams expects to return this Sunday from a high-ankle sprain that figured to keep him out another two games. Oct. Among the first 49ers to chime in on Thursday’s trade: Kittle, who tweeted to McCaffrey: “Let’s goooooo” Let’s gooooooo .
