The 49ers enter its Bye Week riding high with a win, now looking to add one of the offense’s key components in Christian McCaffrey after the break.

San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan gave a modest update on the star running back Monday, indicating that if all goes well moving forward, he is expected to be on the practice field ahead of Week 10. However, there are strings attached. While CMC has suffered no setbacks for some time, he will be reevaluated after going through a gameweek-like workout regime during the bye.

“It depends how this week goes. He’s had no setbacks, so it looks like we’re on track,” Shanahan said about Christian McCaffrey Monday. “But he’s going to hit it hard this week while we’re gone and kind of simulate some practice stuff for himself. And as long as it all goes good, hopefully we’ll get him back in practice next week.”
