SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — San Francisco 49ers All-Pro running back Christian McCaffrey is set to make his season debut on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after spending the first half of the season recovering from Achilles tendinitis. McCaffrey described his time on the sideline as being in a 'dark' place due to physical pain and the frustration of not being able to play.
McCaffrey returned to practice on Monday and has successfully completed four days of work without any setbacks, paving the way for his return. Although still listed as questionable while on injured reserve, he is expected to be activated on Saturday.
