San Francisco
Christian McCaffrey headed to IR, out next four games
Calf tightness, Achilles tendinitis
By: Mike Krueger | Sep 14 2024, 1:15 pm

ESPN sources: 49ers officially are placing All-Pro RB Christian McCaffrey on injured reserve due to his calf tightness and Achilles tendinitis. McCaffrey now will miss the next four games, at least, before the team assesses whether he can return in mid-October. (Adam Schefter on X)

FFToday's Take: We got word yesterday this may happen and now it has. McCaffrey was the overwhelming No.1 pick in fantasy football this season after the team projected this pre-season that McCaffrey to be fine for Week 1. That wasn't the case. Jordan Mason is looking more and more like a league winner with each passing day. Deebo Samuel Samuel should take on more of the rushing workload in the short-term until the team becomes more comfortable with rookie Isaac Guerendo who missed a good chunk of camp with an injury of his own.
