49ers RBs McCaffrey, Mitchell sit out practice on Wednesday

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- The San Francisco 49ers' top two running backs did not practice Wednesday as they dealt with various injury issues.

Running backs Christian McCaffrey (bruised calf) and Elijah Mitchell (groin) sat out Wednesday's session.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said Deebo Samuel (ankle) would sit out Wednesday's session, but the star wide receiver was in uniform for the early portion of practice that was open to media and was a limited participant.

Left tackle Trent Williams also did not practice on Wednesday, getting his regular day of rest.

While Shanahan made no promises about the trio's availability for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Philadelphia Eagles, he expressed confidence that all will be ready to go.
