After playing just four games in 2024 due to a variety of injuries, there was optimism throughout training camp that San Francisco 49ers star running back Christian McCaffrey could be going into 2025 with a clean bill of health. But unfortunately, it seems as if that will not be the case.

McCaffrey popped up on the 49ers injury report on Thursday due to a calf ailment, which is obviously not promising given McCaffrey's recent injury history regarding issues

While Achilles injuries are not always linked to calf issues, the two can often go hand in hand. And given the fact that McCaffrey missed the first eight games of last season with a Pedal Achilles Sprain, there is obvious concern that this new calf injury could be a precursor to perhaps more serious injuries moving forward.
