Christian McCaffrey's Return to 49ers Still Uncertain Amid Recovery Progress

49ers GM John Lynch reports McCaffrey is making significant strides in rehab but remains without a clear timeline for his return.

Christian McCaffrey, sidelined with Achilles tendinitis, has been on injured reserve since September 14, 2024.
49ers GM John Lynch confirmed McCaffrey is progressing well in his rehabilitation, focusing on gradual activity increases without setbacks.
Despite earlier hopes for an early November return, McCaffrey's comeback is now speculated to occur post-Week 9 bye.
Backup running back Jordan Mason has effectively filled McCaffrey's role, ranking second in the NFL with 609 rushing yards this season.
Mason is dealing with a shoulder injury but is expected to play in the upcoming game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
