00:00last week, McCaffrey didn't play. Now he's been ruled out for this Sunday as well in

00:10Minneapolis. Are they just going to have to IRM doc? I don't know. I mean, it depends

00:16on how long they're going to, they want him out for, but really what it comes down to

00:19this, it all changed when it went from calf muscle to Achilles tendonitis. And here's

00:25what the worry is. If this were a playoff game or something, he probably would play

00:29and he's been saying that, but you can't take the risk of rupture. Even if the risk

00:34of rupture for an Achilles tendon after Achilles tendonitis is 1%, that's still about a hundred

00:40fold higher than it would be without the tendonitis. And so I think the 49ers are doing the right

00:47thing and their medical staff is doing the right on Lynch, Kyle Shanahan doing the right

00:51thing by CMC. They want them later this year. So get them right and take away that very

00:56small risk of Achilles tendon rupture.
