00:00More injuries to take a look at the NFL and when do we not look at that practice report
00:07and say, could something be up last week?
00:10We expected Christian McCaffrey to take the snaps opening night versus the New York Jets.
00:14We expected him to perform well.
00:16The question was how many snaps would he actually take?
00:19The answer dubs was exactly zero.
00:22And now we don't know when Christian McCaffrey is coming back here due to Achilles tendonitis,
00:26which Kyle Shanahan brought up yesterday.
00:28Now, the one good thing you can say is if maybe one of the best players in the league
00:32is not going to be available for a couple of weeks is have your backup running back
00:36Jordan Mason go 28 carries 147 yards and score a touchdown in your decimation of a very good
00:44New York Jets defense, 32 to 19.
00:46So let's start there.
00:47How surprised we dubs he getting ready for that football game.
00:51And all of a sudden, every big beat reported in the NFL is going, you know what?
00:55In active reports, here comes Christian McCaffrey.
00:58He's not playing.
00:59Donnie, you mentioned two running backs there for the 49ers, Christian McCaffrey and Jordan
01:03Mason.
01:04I had one of them as my number one pick going into this year's draft for my fantasy football
01:09lineup and I started him and he didn't play CMC.
01:12I mean, this was an absolute shock for Mike.
01:14We knew that he was battling injury going through the preseason leading in to week one,
01:18but we didn't know he was going to be a game time scratch there.
01:21But hey, I mean, every, every loss is someone else's opportunity.
01:25So Jordan Mason, he steps up and gets it done.
01:27But Jordan Mason telling the media after that game that he actually knew about starting
01:32on Friday night, but we didn't.
01:34So that was a tough one for me to swallow.
01:36But for the 49ers, look, this is a really, you know, sensitive injury for Christian McCaffrey,
01:40especially when you're expecting so much production.
01:43But it's early in the season and for Kyle Shanahan, if they didn't know what they've
01:47got in Jordan Mason, well, now you know.
01:49So why would you have that pressure of trying to rush Christian McCaffrey back for week
01:53two going against the Vikings?
01:55So certainly one thing to note and monitor as we move through a very long and treacherous
02:00season here for San Francisco is just keeping eyes on Christian McCaffrey.
02:04Do we see a bit of a drop off in that production, in that role out of the backfield?
02:09I think we likely will.
02:10Maybe, you know, getting a bit of a pitch count, if you will, once he does get back
02:14in the mix there.
02:15But no surprises.
02:16I don't expect to see him out there in week two, unless not in a full capacity as well,
02:20especially after what a showing Jordan Mason put together there for Monday Night Football.
