Christian McCaffrey Set for Season Debut

San Francisco 49ers' running back Christian McCaffrey is set to make his season debut against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after missing the first eight games due to bilateral Achilles tendinitis. McCaffrey, who was sidelined since August, traveled to Germany for treatment and has been activated off injured reserve. He expressed relief at returning and acknowledged the physical and emotional challenges of his injury hiatus. Despite being listed as questionable, Coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed McCaffrey's readiness, emphasizing that barring any last-minute complications, he will play. The 49ers, currently 4-4, look to boost their standing in the NFC West with McCaffrey's return. Last season, he led the NFL in yards from scrimmage and total touchdowns, highlighting his crucial role in the team's success.
