The San Francisco 49ers announced roster moves to replace running back Christian McCaffrey, who suffered a season-ending PCL injury and was placed on IR.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed McCaffrey would miss at least six weeks, prompting a shift in the team's backfield strategy going forward.
Rookie RB Isaac Guerendo is expected to take on the majority of the running workload, with backup possibilities involving Abanikanda and Patrick Taylor.
Israel Abanikanda, claimed off waivers from the Jets, adds depth to the backfield, while Ronnie Bell provides needed assistance at the WR position.
