ESPN's Adam Schefter stated, 'Not only is Christian McCaffrey out tonight, but there's a real chance he's not gonna play on Sunday either. They play on the road at Minnesota on turf on a shorter week.' This highlights the concern regarding McCaffrey's injuries and the immediate impact on the 49ers' offense in their upcoming games.
The decision to bench McCaffrey stemmed from tightness in his calf upon arriving at the team facility for treatment. This raises concerns about his overall health, given that these injuries began last season.
During the 'Pat McAfee Show,' Schefter emphasized that McCaffrey's calf and Achilles issues have persisted since Week 17 last season, contributing to considerable missed practice time during training camp and the preseason.
As the 49ers prepare to face the Minnesota Vikings shortly after the season opener, caution is advised due to the team's history of losing players on turf, deepening concerns about McCaffrey's potential absence.
