The San Francisco 49ers and Minnesota Vikings are set to square off for a Week 2 matchup on Sunday in Minneapolis. Both of these NFC clubs enter the second week of the 2024 regular season 1-0 after impressive victories against the New York teams in the opener. Minnesota thrashed the Giants by 22 points, while the 49ers took care of the Jets by 13.
As we now turn our attention to this head-to-head, injuries are a key storyline. The Vikings will be without second-year receiver Jordan Addison after he was unable to practice all week due to an ankle injury. Meanwhile, the San Francisco 49ers will again be without star running back and defending Offensive Player of the Year Christian McCaffrey, who is getting placed on injured reserve as he deals with calf/Achilles injuries. The star running back will now miss at least the next four games.

If you simply looked at stats from Week 1, you may not have even noticed that McCaffrey was sidelined as Mason filled his shoes admirably. The former undrafted free agent out of Georgia Tech piled up 147 yards and a touchdown on the ground in the win over the Jets. His 28 total rushes were the most by a 49ers player in a game since Frank Gore in 2011 and the most in a game…
