San Francisco 49ers GM John Lynch Provides Alarming Injury Update On Superstar RB Christian McCaffrey Following His Visit To Germany

Recently, it was announced that after a trip to Germany to have a specialist try to help with an Achilles injury, running back Christian Mccaffrey would be missing the next few months of the season.

This report came after it was believed that the Achilles tendinitis that had benched Mccaffrey for the first three weeks of the season now wasn’t all too serious. Of course, though, that thought process has proven to be wrong.

49ers GM John Lynch has now broken his silence since the news came out that could seriously derail the San Francisco offense and season.

“We needed to quiet it down,” he said. “The plan was to give it the time to do that and then at some point in a thoughtful way to ramp him back up.”

“What he does and where he goes, he’s got people who work on his body and have for a long time. Now he’s back here and we’ll have to hit certain markers and try the ramp up. God willing, the thing has quieted down and we can build him up in a smart, thoughtful way,” he continued.

None of what Lynch had to say about McCaffrey seemed all too optimistic, so maybe this news is just as shocking to the front office as it is to everyone else.

Christian McCaffrey Is Signed With The 49ers Through 2028

After being traded to the 49ers, it didn’t take long for McCaffrey to sign an extension with his new team.

The 49ers added on two years and $38 million to his already massive four-year $64 million deal he signed with the Panthers in 2020 that carried over.

Hopefully, for the sake of San Francisco, this isn’t an injury that lingers around too long, or his contract could become a not-so-good investment.

Everyone Is Praying For Baker Mayfield And His Wife After The Couple Was Forced From Their Home In Tampa Bay

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield and his wife Emily have had to evacuate their home this week because of Hurricane Helene.

The hurricane hit northern Florida pretty hard, causing major flooding and power loss.

Mayfield, his wife Emily, their daughter, and their dog left their residence before the storm hit as a means of caution. Emily furnished her followers with an update on Friday.

“Baker, Koko, Fergus and I evacuated yesterday and are safe,” she said via Instagram. “Our sweet, sweet community got pummeled, but even that doesn’t compare to the people up North who took this storm head on. It’s unfathomable.”

Emily is grateful that Helene did not affect the Mayfield home but revealed she was “praying nonstop” for the people dealing with the impact while also offering tangible assistance.

“I am looking for ways to get out and tangibly help,” she added. “Please send me anything you find, and I will share the good ones.”

Fans Were Praying For Baker Mayfield And Florida After Learning He Had To Evacuate His Home

Fans offered prayers for Mayfield, his family, and the city after coming across the update on X/Twitter.

“Praying everyone stays safe,” a user wrote.

“I’m glad they are safe! Family is more important than football. I’m glad that they were not in danger,” a second added.

“Wishing the best for the Bakers and the communities involved. 🙏,” said a third.

Helene was the first category storm to reach Florida’s Big Bend region in over 170 years.

The natural disaster is understood to have claimed several lives, including in the state. It has since been downgraded to a tropical depression but is still considered to be dangerous as it makes its way to the southeastern coast.

The Buccaneers are scheduled to play the Philadelphia Eagles at home this Sunday. The NFL has not announced any changes in kickoff time or venue so far.

PHOTO: Paparazzi Cameras Caught A Bitter Looking Travis Kelce On A Lunch Date With Taylor Swift

Travis Kelce was caught sulking while on a date with girlfriend Taylor Swift.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end was trying to enjoy a meal in peace but, as he should have expected, the paparazzi was out in full force.

According to TMZ, Travis and Taylor hit Nobu Malibu in the daytime, so there was no way they were going to escape the cameras.

“The couple hit up one of the most frequented hot spots in town Sunday by dropping in on Nobu Malibu — and in broad daylight, no less … so you know they were ready to be snapped by paps, and they 100% were,” the publication reported.

The celebrity pair sat out on a balcony seat facing the ocean and were later seen holding hands on their way out. At one point, Kelce stared directly at one of the folks taking pictures of him, and he looked pissed.

Ouch!

Travis Kelce Must Be Used To Paparazzi By Now, So Was This A Bit Too Much?

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are quite used to having cameras all around them, especially now that they are an item. But perhaps having their attempt to just enjoy a meal invaded by paparazzi was a bit much, hence the death stare from the three-time Super Bowl winner.

Meanwhile, the two are likely keen on spending as much time together as they possibly can given that they’ve both gotten a well-deserved break from their busy schedules.

The NFL season is over, while Taylor’s Eras Tour is on pause. Travis has done a bit of flying this offseason, going to Australia and Singapore to attend Taylor’s concerts but they’re back in the U.S. now that her tour has gone on break.
