After helping lead the 49ers to Super Bowl LVIII in 2023, running back Christian McCaffrey was able to play just four games in 2024 due to injury.

John Lynch made it clear he hopes the team can work out a long-term deal with Brock Purdy, who's entering the last year of his rookie contract.

The 49ers struggled without McCaffrey spearheading their offense last season. A pair of lower body injuries for a 28-year-old running back is certainly a concern, but general manager John Lynch on Wednesday at the NFL combine had a positive update on McCaffrey.
