Christian McCaffrey Set for 49ers Return Amid Injury Optimism

49ers coach Kyle Shanahan remains non-committal about Christian McCaffrey's availability for the upcoming game against Tampa Bay, stating that a decision will be made by kickoff. McCaffrey, who has been sidelined for the first eight games of the 2024 season due to injury, is being closely monitored to ensure he is not experiencing soreness or setbacks. Shanahan is uncertain about McCaffrey's potential workload if he plays, and dismisses the notion that his previous heavy workload contributed to the injury.
