Christian McCaffrey was a late scratch for Monday Night Football in Week 1 at home against the New York Jets. The San Francisco 49ers' running back now reportedly has Achilles tendinitis and his status for Week 2 is in question.
"Christian McCaffrey is a longshot to play this week against the Minnesota Vikings," NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported on Wednesday morning, citing conversations he had had with people around the situation. "The 49ers all thought [he] was going to shake off some tightness that he felt late in the week of practice... He worked out pregame [against the Jets] and it was just not quite right."
