Christian McCaffrey's injury-ridden season took another unfortunate turn when the star running back went down with another injury in the San Francisco 49ers' Week 13 loss to the Buffalo Bills.
Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Monday that McCaffrey suffered a PCL injury that requires a six-week recovery. Luckily, the injury will not require surgery.
But all hope of McCaffrey returning this year is not lost. Per NFL Network's Clayton Holloway, Shanahan said on Wednesday that McCaffrey could potentially return to the field if San Francisco makes the playoffs.
