The San Francisco 49ers had some bad injury news on Christian McCaffrey early in the second quarter of Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons.<\/p>\n
McCaffrey wasn’t on the field at all during the 49ers’ third series of the game while trainers worked on him on the sideline. He went to the medical tent with a quad injury and is officially questionable to return.<\/p>\n
In Week 6 McCaffrey had a season-high 25 touches, and he opened Sunday’s game with seven touches on San Francisco’s first two possessions. It’s unclear when he was banged up.<\/p>\n
Kaelon Black got heavy usage on the 49ers’ series without McCaffrey. He ran three times for 52 yards and a touchdown.<\/p>\n
We’ll have an update as soon as San Francisco provides one.<\/p>\n
