Christian McCaffrey has missed the first four games of the season for the San Francisco 49ers due to bilateral Achilles tendinitis, meaning he's suffering from the issue in both tendons. He was designated as out shortly before the team's Monday night Week 1 game and went on injured reserve shortly after.
The rushing yardage leader from 2023 traveled all the way to Germany for consultation on his ailment this season, with, "early November," the most commonly cited timeline ahead of the most recent update from ESPN's Adam Schefter. That update, which came out Saturday night, is that McCaffrey's Achilles injury did not flare up after on-field work at Niners practice this week.
