Christian McCaffrey, the star running back for the San Francisco 49ers, will not be activated for the upcoming Thursday night game against the Seattle Seahawks. He has been on injured reserve since Week 2 due to calf and Achilles tendinitis. Despite this, there is some optimism surrounding his recovery, as he has not experienced any flare-ups after recent on-field work. His potential return could happen as early as October 20 against the Chiefs, but the 49ers may choose to be cautious and allow him to rest further.
- McCaffrey remains on injured reserve but is showing signs of improvement.
- The 49ers are considering a cautious approach to his return.
