Christian McCaffrey exited the game against the Bills early in the second quarter with a knee injury and didn't return.
And then, he exited the game with a knee injury early in the second quarter. McCaffrey would not return to the game after that. Initially, the fear was that it was his Achilles. He took a handoff on a stretch run play to the right side of the offensive line.
However, it is not his Achilles that suffered anything. And now clarity has been gained after the 49ers provided discouraging news on McCaffrey's injury. He suffered a PCL injury that will have him sidelined for at least a few weeks and could possibly rule him out for the season. It occurred after he broke off an 18-yard run that was close to being a house call if he didn't get shoestring tackled.
