Injury Update on Christian McCaffrey

Christian McCaffrey's injury situation has evolved significantly, originating from a calf strain suffered in early August. Initially expected to return for week one, McCaffrey experienced lingering symptoms and was ultimately deactivated for the season's start. Following a heavy practice session that reignited pain, the team's decision seems to prioritize his long-term health, particularly concerning the risk of Achilles tendonitis. Consequently, fantasy managers should prepare for a longer absence, potentially exceeding the four weeks indicated by his place on injured reserve.
