We saw it coming for a few days, it was confirmed this Saturday. The 49ers placed Christian McCaffrey on injured reserve. The runner will therefore miss at least the next 4 games after missing week 1.
Christian McCaffrey is still dealing with calf and Achilles injuries. While the franchise once suggested he could return in Week 2, all parties had to face the facts.
On the program for the next month without the star runner: Vikings, Rams, Patriots and Cardinals. Clashes far from insurmountable for the Californian armada. Then, we'll see if McCaffrey attempts a comeback against the Seahawks (week 6) or the Chiefs (week 7). Unless the franchise's mysteries surrounding the player's health hide a longer absence to come…
Jordan Mason in relay for Christian McCaffrey
Jordan Mason, it's your turn! In week one, the backup runner came out of the shadows brilliantly to stick 147 yards to the Jets. So he'll keep the upper hand for at least another month.
If his first performance was successful, he has a huge void to fill, since Christian McCaffrey is still the reigning offensive player of the year, with more than 2,000 cumulative yards in 2023!
Jordan Mason is 25 years old, entering his third NFL season. He was not drafted when he left college in 2022. The opportunity to write a beautiful story.
