San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey left Sunday night's game against the Buffalo Bills with a right knee injury. McCaffrey went down untouched after a handoff in the second quarter and immediately headed to the medical tent before proceeding to the locker room. The 49ers announced that he is questionable to return. The injury occurred after an 18-yard run earlier in the drive, raising concerns due to the non-contact nature of the injury, with some speculating about the severity, including possible ACL involvement. McCaffrey had previously missed the first eight games of the season due to Achilles tendinitis, and this was his fourth game back.
