Olivia Culpo's Message After Christian McCaffrey Injury News

In what was a bit of a shocking and last-minute report, it was revealed that the San Francisco 49ers would be without star running back Christian McCaffrey for their season opener against the New York Jets.

According to reports that dropped about an hour before kickoff, he was held out due to a calf/Achilles injury after being listed as questionable this past week. The injury occurred during training camp and led to him missing four weeks of practice before he returned to practice this past week.

Despite the fact he's not playing, his wife, Olivia Culpo, still posted a supportive message for the squad as they begin their quest to return to the Super Bowl.

On her Instagram story, the 2012 Miss Universe winner posted the iconic 49ers slogan, "Bang bang!"

It is unclear when McCaffrey will return, but the 49ers will surely want to remain cautious, considering this is also an injury that plagued him towards the end of the 2023 season. He was held out of their regular season finale for precautionary reasons.

Even despite the slight hiccup last season, McCaffrey still managed to lead the league in rushing, win AP NFL Offensive Player of the Year and be named an All-Pro for the third time in his career.

The 49ers are set to hit the road in Week 2 and take on the Minnesota Vikings, which could end up being McCaffrey's season debut.
