Head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed that Christian McCaffrey suffered a PCL injury against the Bills, which requires a six-week recovery and rules him out for the season.
McCaffrey had started strong against the Bills, rushing for 53 yards on seven carries before exiting due to injury, marking a disappointing end to his season.
Jordan Mason is also being placed on injured reserve due to a high ankle sprain, leaving the 49ers with significant gaps in their backfield.
Rookie Isaac Guerendo is expected to step up as the primary rusher following the injuries, adding fresh legs to a depleted running back unit.
