Christian McCaffrey suffers mild hamstring strain, return uncertain

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed that running back Christian McCaffrey suffered a mild hamstring strain during the team's 29-20 loss to the Atlanta Falcons on October 26. McCaffrey began the game strong but struggled after sustaining the injury. He left the field briefly before re-entering, but managed only 34 snaps overall. Following the bye week, which is set before the November 8 game against the Las Vegas Raiders, Shanahan expressed optimism about McCaffrey's potential return. Several other players may also return after the bye, including Nick Bosa and Deebo Samuel.
