Christian McCaffrey returned to practice on Sunday, marking his first appearance on the field in nearly three weeks. The running back had previously been sidelined during training camp and preseason games due to general tightness.
While McCaffrey's participation is a positive development, it is not yet clear how much he will be involved in practice. He is expected to miss the upcoming preseason finale against the Raiders as the team prioritizes his full recovery.
The 49ers are aiming to have McCaffrey fully healthy for their regular season opener against the Rams on September 10.
