Christian McCaffrey starts the high season with “zero restrictions” after an injured season 2024 for the San Francisco 49ers, limiting him to only four matches.

McCaffrey missed the first eight games of the season with Achilles Tendinitis and then went down with a right knee injury that sidelined him for the last five games.

“I’m doing well,” McCaffrey said Tuesday the first day of the offseason program for the 49s. “It’s been such a smooth process, very hard work. As soon as this injury happened in Buffalo, this was my goal not to miss a day with OTAs, be back ready to go with nothing that hinders me. That’s where I’m on.”

McCaffrey said he was fully healed from the Achilles injury, and the rear cruciate ligament damage that got a little in Buffalo on December 1st of the season and was able to train at “full speed.”

It’s been an eventful season for McCaffrey with his wife, Olivia Culpo, and expects the couple’s first child.

It follows the frustrating season of 2024. McCaffrey injured his Achilles -early training camp and missed the first eight games of the season. He rushed in only 202 meters on 50 carriers in four games before he was injured again when he was unable to match his sensational season 2023.

McCaffrey won this year’s AP Offensive Player that season after leading the NFL with 2,023 yards from Scrimmage and bonding to the league lead with 21 touchdowns.

McCaffrey had missed only one game combined in 2022-23-a meaningless week 18 game in the 2023 season for San Francisco, as he had a sore calf-after having missed 23 games due to injuries in his last two full seasons with Carolina.

Niner’s Star Linebacker Fred Warner said he has recovered fully after a broken bone in his ankle, which inhibited him for most of last season. Warner played through the injury without missing out on any game and served his third straight al-Pro-Hænder Certificate.

I have a good time. Ankle is one thing of the past now, thank goodness, because it was hard to try to tackle it all season. But I’m doing well now.

“I’m doing well,” he said. “The ankle injury is the past.”
