The San Francisco 49ers are hopeful that superstar running back Christian McCaffrey will be able to return to the field soon. However, reports suggest that the status of the former Stanford Cardinal remains an ongoing question. While McCaffrey is coming off an incredible season, there are reasons for concerns about the long-term health of a running back in his late 20s (McCaffrey turned 28 in June) with a long track record of heavy usage.
McCaffrey’s father, former NFL wideout Ed McCaffrey, was asked about his son’s status in an interview with former NFL offensive lineman turned analyst Ross Tucker on The Ross Tucker Podcast.
