49ers' Christian McCaffrey Calls Calf Injury 'Pretty Minor' After Win vs. Commanders

Christian McCaffrey downplayed the severity of his "pretty minor" calf injury following the San Francisco 49ers' win on Sunday, according to ESPN's Nick Wagoner.

"I think it was minor and just made the smart move, especially not knowing what was going to happen next week," McCaffrey said. "I didn't just want to go in there and make it any worse. With certain things you can't be dumb about it."

The 27-year-old sustained the injury in the third quarter of the 49ers' 27-10 victory over the Washington Commanders, leaving the game without returning.
