Christian McCaffrey Returns to Practice, Eyes Week 10 Comeback
The San Francisco 49ers running back is poised to play against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after recovering from Achilles tendinitis.
- Christian McCaffrey has been sidelined since the preseason due to Achilles tendinitis in both legs, missing the first eight games of the season.
- The 49ers opened McCaffrey's 21-day practice window, allowing him time to be activated to the active roster or remain out for the season.
- Head coach Kyle Shanahan and ESPN's Adam Schefter express optimism about McCaffrey playing in Week 10, barring any setbacks in practice.
- McCaffrey's return is highly anticipated as the 49ers aim to improve their 4-4 record and enhance their offensive performance, particularly in the red zone.
- In McCaffrey's absence, running backs Jordan Mason and Isaac Guerendo have stepped up, but the team hopes McCaffrey's presence will provide a significant boost.
