Christian McCaffrey, the All-Pro running back for the San Francisco 49ers, has been ruled out for this weekend's game due to ongoing calf and Achilles injuries. After experiencing pain in practice, he may be headed to injured reserve.

Coach Kyle Shanahan mentioned that discussions about shutting McCaffrey down for at least four weeks are underway. Backup Jordan Mason filled in strongly during McCaffrey’s absence, contributing significantly to the team's recent success.
