Christian McCaffrey Ruled Out With Knee Injury On Sunday Night

5 months ago

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (knee) will not return to his team's outing against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday Night Football, per head coach Kyle Shanahan. The veteran RB was off to a hot start, averaging 7.4 yards per touch across his first seven handles for 53 rushing yards. He also caught two passes for 14 yards. However, he started awkwardly on a sweep and went down immediately and will not re-enter the game. Jordan Mason projects to handle most of the backfield touches for the remainder of the contest, with rookie running back Isaac Guerendo potentially mixing in as a change of pace. If Mason is available on your league's waiver wire, he'll be a priority addition going into Week 14. Given CMC's injury-riddled season, it would not be a surprise to see him miss the rest of the year, depending on the nature of his knee injury.
