San Francisco 49ers Release Major Injury Update On Superstar RB Christian McCaffrey Following TNF Win Over Seattle Seahawks, As They Prepare For Super Bowl Rematch vs. Chiefs

With their superstar running back sidelined, the 49ers have leaned on Jordan Mason. Fortunately, he has been up for the challenge as he leads the league in rushing yards following Thursday night’s win over the Seattle Seahawks.

 

Mason’s 609 rushing yards are tops in football, though Baltimore Ravens superstar Derrick Henry is a close second with one less contest played (572 yards in five games). Despite only playing four games, Philadelphia Eagles star Saquon Barkley is third with 435.

 

The 49ers’ pivotal road win in Seattle last night pushed the club to 3-3 on the year. They currently hold the head-to-head tiebreaker over Seattle for tops in the NFC West, though the 2-3 Arizona Cardinals can make it a three-way tie with a win over the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.

49ers Need Christian McCaffrey Healthy For The Postseason

 

For San Francisco, the main goal is having a healthy McCaffrey healthy for the postseason. The team has only lost five regular season games with him in the lineup since his arrival in 2022, a clear-cut indicator of just how much he changes the offense when he’s on the field.
