San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch made his weekly appearance on KNBR’s “Murph & Markus” morning show on Friday and discussed 49ers star Christian McCaffrey’s recent surprise trip to Germany to see a specialist regarding an Achilles injury that has kept him out of all three games this season. Lynch used a veritable word salad to basically say the team still isn’t sure when, exactly, McCaffrey will return to the field.
“We got to be really cognizant — of course, we want him back, he’s a game-changer for us. But we want him back healthy,” Lynch said.
