Christian McCaffrey Eyes November Return After Achilles Treatment in Germany

The 49ers star running back is making progress and could start running on hard ground this week, aiming for an early November comeback.

Christian McCaffrey has missed the first four games of the season due to an Achilles injury sustained during training camp.
McCaffrey recently traveled to Germany for a treatment similar to a PRP injection, which reportedly went well.
The 49ers expect McCaffrey to return by early November, though they are not rushing his recovery.
In McCaffrey's absence, Jordan Mason has taken over as the starting running back, accumulating 324 rushing yards and two touchdowns.
McCaffrey is eligible to return from injured reserve in Week 6, but his comeback may be delayed beyond that timeframe.
