- On June 12, 2025, Christian McCaffrey of the San Francisco 49ers provided an optimistic update on his recovery, expressing that he feels excellent while overcoming the injuries that affected him during the 2024 season.
- McCaffrey struggled with bilateral Achilles tendinitis and a PCL strain in 2024, which limited him to four games after previously returning to form in 2022-23 following a trade to the 49ers.
