The ongoing mystery surrounding San Francisco 49ers star Christian McCaffrey’s timeline to return from his Achilles injury is finally getting a specific target date.
Several reports ahead of the Niners’ Thursday night game against the Seahawks offered the most tangible timeline for McCaffrey’s return yet, with a target date coming after San Francisco’s bye week.
NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport said on Thursday’s “NFL GameDay Kickoff” show that the 49ers are targeting early November for McCaffrey to get fully healthy and laid out the schedule as clearly as any reporter has so far for McCaffrey’s next few weeks.
