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?

More on the San Francisco 49ers

When it rains, it pours for the 2024 San Francisco 49ers.

After losing Christian McCaffrey to a knee injury during Sunday’s blowout loss to the Buffalo Bills, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan revealed on Monday that backup running back Jordan Mason also suffered an ankle injury that will likely include a trip to the injured reserve list.

McCaffrey, who missed the first eight games of the regular season due to Achilles injuries, will likely be sidelined for the rest of the season with a PCL (posterior cruciate ligament) injury.

Here’s more from Shanahan, who also shared an update on San Francisco’s backup quarterback position, the running back plan going forward, and much more.
