To the delight of 49ers and fantasy football managers, San Francisco star running back Christian McCaffrey (oblique) was seen participating on Saturday.
Despite the club officially listing McCaffrey as questionable for Week 7, it's certainly encouraging to see the best running back in the NFL back on the field after sitting out several practices earlier this week.
49ers on NBCS on ‘X’, formerly known as Twitter, shared a video of McCaffrey running routes ahead of the Monday night showdown with the Vikings.

San Francisco's offense would take a massive hit if the two-time Pro Bowl running back, who leads the NFL with 553 rushing yards on the ground, were to miss game action. McCaffrey, who has hauled in 23 receptions for 177 yards via the air in six games, is also one of the best pass-catching backs in the league.
The 49ers are 6.5-point road favorites at SI Sportsbook for the Monday night showdown against Minnesota at U.S. Bank Stadium.
