The San Francisco 49ers are set to welcome back their top offensive playmaker of the 2023 season. Running back Christian McCaffrey (Achilles tendonitis), who was placed on Injured Reserve to start the year, had his practice window opened on Monday and enjoyed his first full week of workouts with the team since being sidelined. McCaffrey was a limited participant on Wednesday and Thursday and closed out the 49ers final practice on Friday as a full participant. He enters the weekend with a questionable injury designation, however, the plan is for him to make his debut on Sunday versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.
"We'll take him off IR tomorrow," Shanahan said. "He'll be good to go."
