"San Francisco failed to reach its true potential last season because the team had several long-term injuries. Most notably, All-Pro RB Christian McCaffrey missed 13 games for the 49ers. He was dealing with an Achilles tendon and PCL injury. During the 2025 offseason, McCaffrey stayed healthy for San Francisco. That was until Thursday's injury report. Insiders reported that Christian McCaffrey was limited at practice due to a calf injury."
"On Wednesday, Christian McCaffrey was a full participant at practice for the 49ers. Come Thursday, he was limited with a calf injury. That's how quickly a player's status can change in the NFL. The 29-year-old had stayed healthy all offseason and then landed on the injury report days before their first game. This is notable given his injury history and how his 2024 season began."
San Francisco finished 6-11 in 2024 after multiple long-term injuries derailed a run that previously produced three straight NFC West titles and 10+ win seasons. All-Pro RB Christian McCaffrey missed 13 games in 2024 dealing with an Achilles tendon and PCL injury and ultimately appeared in just four games. McCaffrey remained healthy through the 2025 offseason but was listed as a limited participant on Thursday with a calf injury after being a full participant the day prior. McCaffrey missed most of training camp in 2024 with a calf problem and missed the first eight games that season, later playing weeks 9-12 before missing the final five games. Fans and the team hope the new calf issue does not lead to a repeat of last season's extended absences.
