Christian McCaffrey

49ers HC Kyle Shanahan said RB Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) will see a specialist in Germany for his Achilles.

McCaffrey, who was placed on injured reserve earlier in the season, was already reportedly looking at a six week or more absence due to Achilles tendinitis, with the reports now coming in that he will see a specialist in Germany to further address the issue. He initially attempted to play through the ailment but was placed on injured reserve following a flare up after practice before the team’s Week 2 contest. This certainly does not sound promising for the reigning touchdown leader moving forward.
