49ers running back Christian McCaffrey says he has 'zero restrictions' to start offseason program

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Christian McCaffrey starts the offseason with “zero restrictions” following an injury-filled 2024 season for the San Francisco 49ers that limited him to just four games.

McCaffrey missed the first eight games of the season with Achilles tendinitis and then went down with a right knee injury that sidelined him for the final five games.

“I’m feeling great," McCaffrey said Tuesday on the first day of the offseason program for the 49ers. "It’s been such a smooth process, a lot of hard work. As soon as that injury happened in Buffalo, this was my goal to not miss a day of OTAs, be back ready to go with nothing hindering me.
