"San Francisco failed to reach its true potential last season because the team had several long-term injuries. Most notably, All-Pro RB Christian McCaffrey missed 13 games for the 49ers. He was dealing with an Achilles tendon and PCL injury. During the 2025 offseason, McCaffrey stayed healthy for San Francisco. That was until Thursday's injury report. Insiders reported that Christian McCaffrey was limited at practice due to a calf injury."
"On Wednesday, Christian McCaffrey was a full participant at practice for the 49ers. Come Thursday, he was limited with a calf injury. That's how quickly a player's status can change in the NFL. The 29-year-old had stayed healthy all offseason and then landed on the injury report days before their first game. This is notable given his injury history and how his 2024 season began. McCaffrey sat out most of training camp in 2024 due to a calf injury."
San Francisco finished 6-11 in 2024 after three consecutive NFC West titles with 10+ wins each season. Long-term injuries derailed the 49ers' potential last season, most notably All-Pro RB Christian McCaffrey, who missed 13 games with an Achilles tendon and PCL injury. McCaffrey stayed healthy through the 2025 offseason but was listed as limited at practice with a calf injury on Thursday before Week 1. He had been a full participant Wednesday, showing how quickly status can change. McCaffrey played only four games in 2024, his second-lowest total, and fans hope he avoids another prolonged absence.
