Christian McCaffrey Injury Likely Season-Ending

Christian McCaffrey, star running back for the San Francisco 49ers, suffered a potentially season-ending PCL injury during the 49ers' 35-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills. The injury occurred early in the second quarter after McCaffrey had an impressive performance, marking only his fourth game back after missing the first eight weeks of the season due to Achilles tendinitis. Coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed the injury, which may sideline McCaffrey for the remainder of the season, and he is scheduled for further testing. This setback is significant for the 49ers, who have already struggled with injuries to key players and now face the possibility of losing one of their most dynamic offensive threats. McCaffrey's absence will likely force the team to rely on backups Jordan Mason and Isaac Guerendo as they attempt to remain competitive in the playoff race. If this injury does indeed end his season, McCaffrey will finish the year with limited contributions, totaling 202 rushing yards and 146 receiving yards over just four games.
