The San Francisco 49ers have designated running back Christian McCaffrey to return from injured reserve due to an Achilles injury. This move opens a 21-day practice window for McCaffrey, who is expected to practice this week and potentially play in Week 10 against the Buccaneers. Coach Kyle Shanahan has indicated that McCaffrey's workload will be monitored closely upon his return, especially considering the contributions of backup running backs during his absence.
- McCaffrey's return is highly anticipated as he is a key player for the 49ers.
- His workload will be managed carefully to ensure he stays healthy.
