Christian McCaffrey had some choice words for the health experts on social media who spoke about his Achilles injury.
During his weekly media session with reporters, McCaffrey described his rehab from bilateral Achilles tendinitis.
“I think one thing I learned just about the whole process was that you get a lot of Instagram doctors,” McCaffrey said. “I had guys diagnosing my injuries, PhDs, doctors. I was watching the Sunday Night [Football] game, and some doctor is talking about my injury on the TV, I couldn’t believe it.
“I never talked to him in my life, he’s never seen imaging, talked to me or diagnosed me. It’s just kind of the world we live in now. So, I tried to stay focused on my plan, and what I trusted in and go from there. Try to limit all the outside noise because everyone’s got an answer and they’re all different.”
Here’s the video:
There were a lot of people concerned about McCaffrey’s status for this season after he took a trip to Germany to see specialists. The 28-year-old made his season debut during the 49ers’ 23-20 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Now, the attention for the 49ers turns to a huge NFC West showdown against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.
