49ers' Christian McCaffrey Speaks Out With Major Injury Update

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The 2024 NFL season was a tough one for San Francisco 49ers superstar running back Christian McCaffrey. Despite huge expectations, injuries completely ruined the year for him. At the beginning of the season, McCaffrey was dealing with Achilles tendonitis. He was able to come back from that injury, but only played four games and went down with an injury to the PCL in his knee. Going through two separate injuries like those in one season is a lot to handle. Despite that fact, McCaffrey has worked hard to recover and is ready to get back to dominating opposing defenses during the upcoming 2025 season.

Read more: 49ers Insider Urges Blockbuster Trade Idea Involving WR Brandon Aiyuk McCaffrey is going to be a massive part of leading San Francisco back to the postseason. He's ready to make that happen. On Wednesday, the star running back spoke out with a major update about his current injury status and how he's feeling. "I feel great," McCaffrey said. "I think this offseason I spent a lot of time kind of building back a base starting from scratch, so a lot of it was rehab and wanted to put myself in a position where I didn't miss a day of OTAs and I could practice and play football again, be healthy and not miss a day, and I did that." Last season, McCaffrey carried the football just 50 times for 202 yards and no touchdowns, while catching 15 passes for 146 yards in four games. Back in 2023, he racked up 1,459 yards and 14 touchdowns on 272 carries to go along with 67 receptions for 564 yards and seven more scores.

He's been through a lot, but he's in great health and spirits entering the upcoming year as he looks to rebound and get his career back on track.

DeVonta Smith Reflects on 'Dagger' Super Bowl Touchdown

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Since being drafted 10th overall in 2021, DeVonta Smith has become a key piece of the Philadelphia Eagles' offense. As he prepares for his fifth season with the franchise, he looked back at arguably the most memorable moment of his NFL career thus far. After making their way through the NFC playoffs last year, the Eagles found themselves facing off against a familiar foe in the Super Bowl. Things didn't go their way the first time against the Kansas Chiefs, but they made sure the rematch was a completely different story. Heading into the game, many expected a competitive matchup between two of the NFL's elite teams. However, that is now how things unfolded. The Eagles came out and set the tone early, and never looked back. Up 27-0 with about three minutes left in the third quarter, the Eagles found themselves with possession around the 50-yard line. Instead of running the ball, Philly decided to pour salt in the wound of their rival. Jalen Hurts dropped back and proceeded to launch a 46-yard touchdown pass to Smith. This catch accounted for most of Smith's production in the Eagles' 40-22 victory. He ended the night with four receptions and 69 receiving yards.

MoreEarlier this week, the Eagles began their mandatory minicamp. Following the opening day of action, Smith was among multiple players to speak to the media. During his press conference, the young wideout was asked about his jaw-dropping touchdown against the Chiefs in the Super Bowl. He dubbed the play one of the top three catches of his career before going on to poke fun at a division rival. "I would say it's top three," Smith said regarding his Super Bowl TD. "The other two would be two catches against Washington. There's a lot of them." Devonta Smith says The Dagger was one of the top 3 plays of his career The other two? 'Two catches against Washington' Which two? 'There's been a lot of them' — Eliot Shorr-Parks (@EliotShorrParks) June 10, 2025 Throughout his career, the Commanders are a team Smith has had a lot of success against. Across eight matchups, he's racked up 559 yards and three touchdowns. This is his highest number of yards against any team, with the Dallas Cowboys being a close second (484). Coming off a season where he recorded a career-high eight touchdowns, Smith is poised to continue being a primary component of the Eagles' offense. Alongside A.J. Brown, he'll attempt to keep Philly in the discussion of best wide receiver duos. Smith's jab at the Commanders is going to fester for some time, as the two teams don't square off until the later stages of the regular season. Their two matchups of the year are slated for Week 16 and Week 18.

Missouri approves stadium aid for Kansas City Chiefs and Royals and disaster relief for St. Louis

Associated Press JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri lawmakers on Wednesday approved hundreds of millions of dollars of financial aid to try to persuade the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals to remain in the state and help the St. Louis area recover from a devastating tornado. House passage sends the legislative package to Republican Gov. Mike Kehoe, who called lawmakers into special session with a plea for urgent action. Kehoe is expected to sign the measures into law. Missouri's session paired two otherwise unrelated national trends — a movement for new taxpayer-funded sports stadiums and a reevaluation of states' roles in natural disasters as President Donald Trump's administration reassess federal aid programs. The stadium subsidies already were a top concern in Missouri when a deadly tornado struck St. Louis on May 16, causing an estimated $1.6 billion of damage a day after lawmakers had wrapped up work in their annual regular session. The disaster relief had widespread support. Lawmakers listened attentively on Wednesday as Democratic state Rep. Kimberly-Ann Collins described with a cracking voice how she witnessed the tornado rip the roof off her house and damage her St. Louis neighborhood. Collins said she has no home insurance, slept in her car for days and has accepted food from others. 'Homes are crumbled and leveled,' said Collins, adding: 'It hurts me to my core to see the families that have worked so hard, the businesses that have worked so hard, to see them ripped apart.' Lawmakers approved $100 million of open-ended aid for St. Louis and $25 million for emergency housing assistance in any areas covered under requests for presidential disaster declarations. They also authorized a $5,000 income tax credit to offset insurance policy deductibles for homeowners and renters hit by this year's storms — a provision that state budget director Dan Haug said could eventually cost up to $600 million. The Chiefs and Royals currently play football and baseball in side-by-side stadiums in Jackson County, Missouri, under leases that expire in January 2031. Jackson County voters last year defeated a sales tax extension that would have helped finance an $800 million renovation of the Chiefs' Arrowhead Stadium and a $2 billion ballpark district for the Royals in downtown Kansas City. That prompted lawmakers in neighboring Kansas last year to authorize bonds for up to 70% of the cost of new stadiums in Kansas to lure the teams to their state. The Royals have bought a mortgage for property in Kansas, though the team also has continued to pursue other possible sites in Missouri. The Kansas offer is scheduled to expire June 30, creating urgency for Missouri to approve a counter-offer. Missouri's legislation authorizes bonds covering up to 50% of the cost of new or renovated stadiums, plus up to $50 million of tax credits for each stadium and unspecified aid from local governments. If they choose to stay in Missouri, the Chiefs plan a $1.15 billion renovation of Arrowhead Stadium. Though they have no specific plans in the works, the St. Louis Cardinals also would be eligible for stadium aid if they undertake a project of at least $500 million. Many economists contend public funding for stadiums isn't worth it, because sports tend to divert discretionary spending away from other forms of entertainment rather than generate new income. But supporters said Missouri stands to lose millions of dollars of tax revenue if Kansas City's most prominent professional sports teams move to Kansas. They said Missouri's reputation also would take a hit, particularly if it loses the Chiefs, which have won three of the past six Super Bowls. 'We have the chance to maybe save what is the symbol of this state,' Rep. Jim Murphy, a Republican from St. Louis County, said while illustrating cross-state support for the measure. The legislation faced some bipartisan pushback from those who described it as a subsidy for wealthy sports team owners. Others raised concerns that a property tax break for homeowners, which was added in the Senate to gain votes, violates the state constitution by providing different levels of tax relief in various counties while excluding others entirely. 'This bill is unconstitutional, it's fiscally reckless, it's morally wrong," said Republican state Rep. Bryant Wolfin. recommended
