San Francisco 49ers star running back Christian McCaffrey could be out for six weeks or more due to his calf soreness and Achilles tendinitis, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Rapoport described the situation as "frustrating and difficult," both in terms of its physical effect on McCaffrey and the recovery process:
McCaffrey missed most of training camp and the entirety of the preseason while dealing with the calf and Achilles injuries. He then missed the Niners' season opener against the New York Jets before being placed on the injury reserve ahead of San Francisco's Week 2 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.
