San Francisco 49ers star Christian McCaffrey is on track to return by early November as he deals with Achilles tendinitis, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Niners fans and fantasy football managers across the country got an unwanted surprise when McCaffrey was ruled out for Week 1 thanks to calf and Achilles injuries. The situation only got worse with San Francisco placing him on injured reserve.
That ruled the two-time All-Pro out for a minimum of four games, with Rapoport reporting he'd need up to six weeks of recovery. He recently traveled to Germany to see a specialist for his Achilles injury.
