MINNEAPOLIS -- The San Francisco 49ers are placing star running back Christian McCaffrey on injured reserve with calf soreness and Achilles tendinitis, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Saturday.

McCaffrey must miss at least the next four games -- including Sunday's matchup with the Minnesota Vikings -- and is eligible to return for an Oct. 10 meeting with the Seattle Seahawks on "Thursday Night Football," though that's not a guarantee.
