CMC joined Deebo Samuel on the sidelines. The receiver was ruled out earlier in the game with a shoulder injury. Samuel played just eight snaps.
Niners coach Kyle Shanahan said after the defeat that the team didn’t yet know the severity of either player’s injury. Samuel’s X-rays were negative, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Sunday, per a source. The receiver will have more tests Monday.
In 30 snaps, McCaffrey racked up 52 yards on 14 touches and San Francisco’s first score of the game, a 13-yard touchdown catch-and-run. With the TD, he tied the NFL record for most consecutive games with a scrimmage TD (15 games).
Elijah Mitchell and Jordan Mason split carries for San Francisco (5-1) in McCaffrey’s absence, with the latter scoring a go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter.
McCaffrey and Samuel will have a longer time than usual to heal up. The 49ers’ Week 7 game against the Minnesota Vikings isn’t until next Monday night.
