49ers' Christian McCaffrey Eyes Midseason Return Amid Injury Recovery

The star running back is progressing in his recovery from Achilles tendinitis but remains sidelined as the team hopes for a comeback by November.

Christian McCaffrey has been out with bilateral Achilles tendinitis since the start of the season, impacting the 49ers' offensive performance.
Despite being eligible to return, McCaffrey will not play in Week 6 against the Seattle Seahawks as his recovery continues.
There is optimism within the team as McCaffrey's condition has not worsened after recent on-field practice sessions.
Potential return dates for McCaffrey include games against the Chiefs on Oct. 20 or the Cowboys on Oct. 27, with a more cautious option being after the bye week on Nov. 10.
The 49ers have struggled without McCaffrey, who led the NFL in scrimmage yards and touchdowns last season, but Jordan Mason has stepped up in his absence.
