NFL Nation's 49ers reporter Nick Wagoner provided more on that: "While McCaffrey and the 49ers will have time to see how he fares in practice before putting him back in any games, there has been optimism around the team that he will be available on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers so long as this week goes well."

Just like that, we have arrived at the NFL trade deadline day. Week 9 didn't have many serious injuries, though it was slightly less exciting than the previous week. Still, it featured three games that went to overtime and was a fun week all things considered.
