The San Francisco 49ers are among one of the best teams in the league through seven weeks. With a record of 5-2, despite a lengthy and growing list of injuries, head coach Kyle Shanahan is getting the most from his reserves.
From the quarterbacks, both Brock Purdy and Mac Jones, to the wide receivers and more, just about every position has endured losses due to injuries. Stars like tight end George Kittle, wide receivers Brandon Aiyuk and Ricky Pearsall, as well as veteran linebacker Fred Warner, have all missed games for the Niners this season.
Despite not getting much production from the running back position until recently, Christian McCaffrey is one of the few athletes for San Francisco who seems to be unphased by the injury bug.
