49ers' Shanahan: Christian McCaffrey Had Injury in 2nd Leg After Overcompensating

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan addressed running back Christian McCaffrey's bilateral Achilles tendonitis for the first time, following comments made by general manager John Lynch.

"There was a time he's had it in both," Shanahan said according The Athletic's Matt Barrows. "I think it started in one. (He) overcompensated, it went to the other. But mainly one of them has been bothering him, but he's had it in both."

McCaffrey has been sidelined all of the 2024 season thus far and recently traveled to Germany for extended treatment.

The 28-year-old was originally drafted by the Carolina Panthers and had a problem with injuries with his first team, appearing in just 10 games between the 2020 and 2021 seasons.

McCaffrey missed only one game last season, accumulating over 1,400 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns, along with 564 receiving yards and seven touchdowns.

Since his absence this season, Jordan Mason has been stepping up for the 49ers as their go-to RB with 447 rushing yards and three touchdowns.

The 49ers will be without McCaffrey once again on Sunday, Oct. 6 as they take on the Arizona Cardinals.
