49ers' McCaffrey Faces Season-Ending Knee Injury, Placed on IR
San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey is expected to miss at least six weeks due to a PCL injury sustained during a game against the Buffalo Bills. Placed on injured reserve, McCaffrey's return this season hinges on the 49ers making the playoffs, as they currently hold a 5-9 record. This injury follows McCaffrey's earlier Achilles tendinitis that kept him out for the first eight games of the 2024 NFL season.
