Christian McCaffrey Undergoing MRI Monday

one year ago

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that running back Christian McCaffrey (oblique, ribs) is still getting an MRI exam on Monday on his oblique/ribs. Shanahan said it's not yet known whether the issue is oblique or ribs or both. Figuring that out will determine whether McCaffrey will be able to play on Monday Night Football against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 7. "I don't think the 49ers know right now if [Christian McCaffrey's] gonna miss one, two or any games at all," ESPN's Adam Schefter said on The Pat McAfee Show on Monday morning. We should know more about the 27-year-old's status in the coming days, but if CMC is questionable, he'll be a pretty risky lineup option in Week 7 with the game being on Monday night. Jordan Mason and Elijah Mitchell figure to split backfield reps against Minnesota if McCaffrey can't suit up a week from this Monday.
