Story

On Saturday, November 9, 2024, the San Francisco 49ers announced the activation of running back Christian McCaffrey from injured reserve. He had been sidelined for nearly two months due to bilateral Achilles tendinitis, which he sustained early in the season. During his recovery, McCaffrey underwent extensive rehabilitation, including a visit to a specialist in Germany. Head coach Kyle Shanahan previously indicated McCaffrey's return was imminent unless unforeseen circumstances arose on the team's trip to Tampa. The 49ers waived running back Patrick Taylor Jr. to create a roster spot for McCaffrey, bringing the total to four running backs on the team, which also includes Jordan Mason, Isaac Guerendo, and fullback Kyle Juszczyk.
