Christian McCaffrey injury update: NFL Network insider reveals 49ers RB’s timetable for return to play

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey is “likely” to miss six or more weeks of action, according to NFL insider Ian Rapoport.

He is dealing with painful achilles tendinitous, according to the report. McCaffrey was placed on the 49ers injured reserve ahead of the team’s Week 2 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.

“It is described to me as frustrating and difficult,” Rapoport said on the NFL Network on Sunday. “Difficult to run, certainly difficult to get rid of. He is not at more of a risk of tearing his achilles, but from my understanding is that he is likely to be out six weeks or more. That means [Jordan] Mason, the preseason MVP for the 49ers is going to get a ton of touches.”
