Christian McCaffrey is going back on IR. The San Francisco 49ers star has been snakebitten by injuries this season, and now might not play another snap.
McCaffrey is out the next six weeks with a PCL injury suffered the Niners’ humiliating loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday Night Football. McCaffrey’s year appears to be mercifully over.

The San Francisco 49ers have received some kind of scare in the second quarter against the Buffalo Bills. Running back Christian McCaffrey took a pitch and quickly slid down to the field for a five yard loss. He quickly hobbled off the field after the play. On the replay, he was quickly gimpy as he caught the pitch and started running.
