CBS Sport: San Francisco 49ers HC made a devastating announcement After defeating the Jets.

On Monday Night Football, the San Francisco 49ers defeated the New York Jets 32–19 to win their first game of the season. Despite some significant injuries, the offense and defense both looked strong in the team’s season opener. Star running back Christian McCaffrey is one of these injuries; he missed tonight’s game due to a calf issue. Head coach Kyle Shanahan provided a heartbreaking update on their superstar after the game.

During the press conference following the game, Shanahan disclosed that McCaffrey might miss a few weeks of play due to his injury. It’s becoming more and more likely that the standout running back will miss the team’s game against the Minnesota Vikings next week, according to NFL analyst Adam Schefter.

RB Christian McCaffrey might not play against the #Vikings on Sunday because of his injury, according to @AdamSchefter 👀.

Against the Jets, the team started running back Jordan Mason, and he was able to generate significant results for them. To the surprise of 49ers coaches and fans, he amassed 147 rushing yards on 28 carries for one touchdown against a top-tier New York defense. Everyone is more optimistic after this performance that the club can still win even without its star running back.

Despite Mason’s outstanding performance on Monday Night Football, 49ers supporters are still inconsolable over the possibility that McCaffrey won’t be available for another week. Following are a few social media responses to the news:

“Not only is McCaffrey out tonight, but there’s a real chance that he’s not going to play on Sunday either”
