When will Christian McCaffrey return from injury for the 49ers? Here's the latest update.
The San Francisco 49ers have been doing pretty well running the ball without the injured Christian McCaffrey as Jordan Mason has stepped in well.
But let's face it: no one is like McCaffrey, who was the NFL's offensive player of the year after a monster year of running and catching the football.
Which is why Niners fans are still waiting to see when he'll return from Achilles tendinitis in both legs, an issue that landed him on the IR in Week 2. While he's eligible to return in Week 6, he hasn't yet.
So ... what's the latest? Well, the 49ers have two games after Thursday against the Chiefs and the Cowboys, so maybe he'll target one of those? But if I'm betting, I'd say after the Week 9 bye would kind of be perfect.
We'll see!
