Christian McCaffrey

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports there’s a “very good chance” Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) plays in Week 10 against the Buccaneers.

A Week 10 return for McCaffrey has been implied for a while, partly because the 49ers have a Week 9 bye on the horizon. Rapoport reported earlier in the week that McCaffrey “has been ramping up” for a return to the practice field and that there had been no concerns regarding his rehab, so it sounds like everything is trending in the right direction. Jordan Mason (shoulder) is expected to handled the bulk of the touches for the 49ers in Week 8, but that may be the last we hear from Mason for a while if McCaffrey does make his much-anticipated return on November 10th.
