Christian McCaffrey's wife Olivia Culpo enjoys football Sunday while 49ers RB's injury presses pause on NFL 

Christian McCaffrey might miss another whole month of football. The San Francisco 49ers star is dealing with Achilles tendinitis, which has the RB sidelined since the 2024 season began.

Olivia Culpo, who married the running back in June 2024, has been a constant presence at McCaffrey's NFL games for years. With CMC injured, however, the newly married couple hasn't been able to attend a game.

However, not being physically present at the game doesn't mean Culpo isn't enjoying Sunday football.

She even shared her recipe, which the former Miss Universe originally posted in 2017.

"Sunday's are for football, vino, and homemade turkey chili + cornbread 🍷 🏈 🍞 🦃 😊 👩‍🍳," Culpo wrote back in 2017.

When is Christian McCaffrey expected to return from injury?

McCaffrey has been injured and sitting out for weeks. The RB even traveled to Germany, seeing a specialist to work on his injury. Though he might miss months, rumors claim CMC could be back on the field in early November.

On Sunday, September 29, NFL Insider Ian Rapoport spoke about McCaffrey's possible return timeline:

"My understanding: Now that he is back in the United States, it seems like the treatment went well. There is a chance he could run on hard ground this week which would be a step forward. For those worried about McCaffrey not playing at all this year, my understanding is the 49ers are not rushing him but they do expect him back at least by early November."

Without CMC on the roster and a few other injuries to deal with, the 49ers are 2-2 going into Week 4.
