Christian McCaffrey's 2024 Season Likely Over After Knee Injury

The 49ers star running back reflects on a challenging, injury-plagued season and vows to return stronger in 2025.

Christian McCaffrey suffered a torn PCL during the 49ers' Week 13 loss to the Buffalo Bills, likely ending his 2024 season.
The injury marks the second time McCaffrey, who also battled Achilles tendinitis earlier this year, has been placed on injured reserve this season.
McCaffrey played just four games in 2024, finishing with career-low stats, including 202 rushing yards and no touchdowns.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan left open the possibility of McCaffrey returning if the 49ers make an unlikely playoff run, though they currently sit at 5-7.
In a reflective Instagram post, McCaffrey expressed gratitude for support, called football a humbling game, and pledged to work harder to return stronger next season.
