Christian McCaffrey on his calf injury: ‘With certain things, you can’t be dumb about it’

Christian McCaffrey left Sunday’s game against the Washington Commanders with a calf injury. The 49ers held McCaffrey out for the remainder of the game, and Elijah Mitchell ended up receiving a season-high in carries as a result.

During his postgame press conference, San Francisco 49ers head coach said this about McCaffrey:

“We think he’ll be all right. I don’t know if he would’ve been able to go next week or not. We’ll have to find out more tomorrow. He was moving around alright on the sidelines. Hopefully, it’s not too bad. But we’ll know more tomorrow.
