Summary

The San Francisco 49ers, with a record of 6-1, face the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 9 of the NFL season. After removing him from the injury report, the team confirmed that running back Christian McCaffrey will play despite previously sustaining a mild hamstring injury. McCaffrey practiced without restrictions on Thursday and Friday, setting him up for a heavier workload due to injuries to key wide receivers Mike Evans, Deebo Samuel, and Christian Kirk, who have all been ruled out for the matchup. Star pass rusher Nick Bosa is also expected to return after a few games missed due to a calf strain.
