Christian McCaffrey will remain out for the foreseeable future.
The San Francisco 49ers’ star running back has missed the team’s first three games of the 2024 season with Achilles tendonitis. Days before San Francisco’s Week 2 contest against the Minnesota Vikings, McCaffrey was placed on injured reserve, leaving him out of commission through at least Week 5.
Now, though, McCaffrey’s condition has only worsened.
The All-Pro went to Germany earlier this week to visit a specialist for his condition. While there, the specialist found what appears to be a more severe injury in McCaffrey’s Achilles tendon.
