Christian McCaffrey called him time on the sideline 'extremely unfortunate' and says being back this week 'makes you realize how blessed and fortunate you are to play when you are on that field.'
Adam Schefter reports that barring any setbacks, 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey is preparing to make his season debut against the Buccaneers on Sunday. Nick Wagoner is an NFL reporter at ESPN. Nick has covered the San Francisco 49ers and the NFL at ESPN since 2016, having previously covered the St. Louis Rams for 12 years, including three years at ESPN.
That followed a training camp in which McCaffrey participated very little as Shanahan announced he was dealing with a calf strain in early August. Shanahan later revealed that McCaffrey was also dealing with Achilles soreness. That trip to Germany did seem to at least give McCaffrey a sort of timetable for a return. While he's been eligible to come off injured reserve for about a month, the Niners and McCaffrey have been eyeing Sunday's game in Tampa, Florida, coming out of the bye for a while.
