Initially, McCaffrey was sidelined during the preseason due to a <strong>calf injury<\/strong>, but it wasn\u2019t expected to affect his regular-season games. He was listed as \u201cquestionable\u201d for San Francisco\u2019s <strong>Week 1<\/strong> game against the Jets, and most signs pointed to him being ready for the season opener.<\/p>\n<p>However, in a surprising twist, McCaffrey was ruled out for that game and added a new concern to his injury report: an <strong>Achilles issue<\/strong>. Just days later, the 49ers placed him on <strong>injured reserve (IR)<\/strong>, confirming that his leg injury was more serious than originally thought.<\/p>\n<p>Now, McCaffrey is reportedly flying to <strong>Germany<\/strong> to consult with a specialist about his <strong>Achilles tendinitis<\/strong>, according to ESPN\u2019s <strong>Adam Schefter<\/strong>. He is expected to remain overseas for a few days to undergo evaluation, which is not a great sign for his immediate return.<\/p>\n<p>The injury has evolved from a minor calf problem to a more concerning calf and Achilles issue. At 28, McCaffrey was coming off the best season of his career, but his absence is being felt as the 49ers have dropped to <strong>1-2<\/strong> on the season, losing to the Vikings and Rams in consecutive weeks.<\/p>\n<p>The 49ers face the <strong>Patriots<\/strong> in <strong>Week 4<\/strong>, but McCaffrey\u2019s status remains uncertain. He\u2019s out through Week 4 at the earliest, and his trip to Germany suggests that his return might not be anytime soon. San Francisco will likely provide more updates after their matchup with New England.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The injury situation for 49ers star running back Christian McCaffrey keeps getting worse.
