The San Francisco 49ers announced that star running back Christian McCaffrey, who missed the season opener because of injuries, was ruled out of the Week 2 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday and could miss additional time.Head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters Friday that McCaffrey could be considered for a stint on the injured reserve list, which would mean he would miss at least this week plus three more games.
The 49ers replaced McCaffrey for the Week 1 game against the New York Jets on Monday night with undrafted 3rd year running back Jordan Mason, who responded with a career game, rushing for 147 yards on 28 carries and a touchdown in a 32-19 victory.Earlier this week McCaffrey was limited in practice but told reporters his mentality was that he was going to play on Sunday.'That's how I am every week. I'm not lying,' said McCaffrey on Wednesday.
