Christian McCaffrey‘s season took a devastating turn on Sunday during the San Francisco 49ers 10-35 loss against the Buffalo Bills. The All-Pro RB ended the game after just 7 carries for 53 yards.
The 28-year-old slipped midway through the game and then hobbled off the field, straight to the medical tent. Later, the 49ers announced a possible posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injury. However, they are still in the process of discovering the exact manner of his injury.
Meanwhile, his father and former NFL wide receiver Ed McCaffrey expressed his thoughts about the situation on the latest segment of Up & Adams. The 3x Super Bowl winner revealed it was very emotional for him to witness his son picking up another injury.
Today’s a tough one. I feel like someone reached their hand in my chest and pulled out my heart.
McCaffrey’s season is more than likely over for this year. The former first-round pick will go back to rehab, and his father has faith in his ability to come back stronger.
