While most of the San Francisco 49ers get the chance to rest during the bye week following a morale-boosting win over the Dallas Cowboys, this week could have a big impact on the second half of the season.
Star running back Christian McCaffrey will ramp up his rehabilitation after being sidelined all season with Achilles tendinitis and could be back next week if all goes well.'He's had no setbacks, so it looks like we're on track,' coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday. 'But we're going to, he's going to hit it hard this week while we're gone and kind of simulate some practice stuff for himself.
The Niners blew 10-point leads in the fourth quarter against the Rams and Cardinals and were in danger of an even bigger collapse against Dallas. San Francisco entered the fourth quarter with a 27-10 lead but was up only 30-24 after allowing two quick TD drives by the Cowboys. The defense responded by forcing four straight incomplete passes to seal the game but it shouldn't have gotten that close. Stock upRB Isaac Guerendo running the ball.
