49ers' Christian McCaffrey Seeks Achilles Treatment in Germany

The star running back is consulting a specialist to address a persistent injury that has sidelined him since training camp.

Christian McCaffrey is in Germany to see a specialist for his Achilles tendinitis, which has kept him on injured reserve since the start of the season.
McCaffrey's injury dates back to early training camp, causing him to miss the season opener and subsequently be placed on IR.
He is eligible to return for the 49ers' Week 6 game against the Seattle Seahawks, but there is no clear indication of his readiness.
San Francisco has been plagued by multiple injuries, including to key players like Deebo Samuel, George Kittle, and defensive tackle Javon Hargrave.
Despite McCaffrey's absence, backup Jordan Mason has performed well, but the team struggles with a 1-2 record and significant adversity early in the season.
