2024 didn’t go according to plan for San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey.

After missing the first eight weeks of the regular season due to Achilles injuries, McCaffrey suffered a season-ending PCL injury in his left knee during Sunday’s loss to the Buffalo Bills.

The 49ers (5-7) will now navigate the final stretch of the season without McCaffrey and backup running back Jordan Mason, who was also placed on injured reserve due to a high ankle sprain.

McCaffrey may be sidelined for the remainder of the year, but the 28-year-old took to Instagram to share his confidence in a return to form in 2025:

More on Christian McCaffrey & the 49ers

Injuries continue to pile up for the San Francisco 49ers as Christian McCaffrey (knee) and Jordan Mason (ankle) will be placed on injured reserve.

As San Francisco (5-7) limps into the final stretch of the regular season, The Athletic’s Matt Barrows joined The Carmichael Dave Show with Jason Ross on Tuesday morning to discuss how the injuries can affect the franchise in the long-term, share what fans should watch for from rookie running back Isaac Guerendo, and much more.

Plus, as McCaffrey turns 29 years old, what can we expect from CMC as the star running back moves through his prime years?

Be sure to check out the full interview with Matt Barrows on the Sactown Sports 1140 YouTube page.
