Two TDs on 20 touches in Week 9 McCaffrey rushed 18 times for 68 yards and a touchdown while catching two of three targets for 19 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-17 win over the Raiders.

Impact McCaffrey got banged up in San Francisco's Week 7 loss to the Falcons, but a Week 8 bye allowed his hamstring to heal and the star running back handled 20 touches Sunday while scoring twice to bring his season total to 10 touchdowns. He capped San Francisco's opening drive with a one-yard touchdown run and added a 12-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter. Rookie third-round pick Kaelon Black led the 49ers with 70 rushing yards on 11 carries, but McCaffrey remains the lead back heading into a Week 10 trip to Dallas, during which CMC will try to extend a seven-game touchdown streak.

Full workload expected Sunday McCaffrey is expected to take on a full workload Sunday against the Raiders, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact McCaffrey was limited to a 52 percent snap share when he missed a portion of the 49ers' Week 7 loss in Atlanta due to a left hamstring injury, but he still put up 13 touches for 100 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD. With the benefit of a Week 8 bye, he appears set to handle the 17.5 touches per game that he averaged in healthy outings from Weeks 1 through 6, which translated to 540 total yards and seven touchdowns.

Set to play Sunday McCaffrey (hamstring) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game versus the Raiders, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact McCaffrey was able to mix into drills Thursday as limited and again Friday, which was enough for him to gain clearance to suit up in Week 9. He was hampered by a left hamstring injury during the 49ers' last game in Week 7 in Atlanta, when he handled a season-low 52 percent snap share but still notched 100 yards from scrimmage and a rushing TD on 13 touches.

Practicing Friday McCaffrey (hamstring) took part in the open portion of Friday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN reports.

Impact McCaffrey already has one capped session (Thursday) under his belt this week and again appears set to be listed as at least limited Friday, at which point the 49ers may tag him with a designation for Sunday's game versus the Raiders.

Officially limited Thursday McCaffrey (hamstring) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.

Impact McCaffrey followed up Wednesday's lack of activity with some on-field work one day later, but he may need to practice fully Friday in order to avoid a designation for Sunday's game against the Raiders. He's tending to a left hamstring injury from a Week 7 loss in Atlanta, when he managed just a 52 percent snap share and churned out 100 yards from scrimmage and a rushing TD on 13 touches.

Suited up for Thursday's practice McCaffrey (hamstring) was present for the open portion of Thursday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN reports.

Impact McCaffrey was hampered by a left hamstring injury during the 49ers' last game, a Week 7 loss in Atlanta. Even with the benefit of a Week 8 bye, he didn't practice Wednesday, after which he touched on the health concern. "I had no idea (it was a hamstring injury)," he told Vic Tafur and Matt Barrows of The Athletic. "It wasn't too bad. Having the bye week was awesome. But now I feel great." Thursday's practice report will reveal how much work McCaffrey was able to handle.

May practice, play this week McCaffrey (hamstring) said Wednesday that he has a chance to practice this week and play Sunday against the Raiders, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact McCaffrey toughed out what eventually was revealed to be a mild left hamstring strain during a Week 7 loss in Atlanta, when he finished with 13 touches for 100 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD. With the benefit of a Week 8 bye, he said Wednesday that he feels "great," but chances for on-field work await for him Thursday and Friday.

Will not practice Wednesday McCaffrey (hamstring) will not participate in Wednesday's practice, Cam Inman of Bay Area News Group reports.

Impact Three key vets are not taking part in the first practice out of the bye Wednesday as McCaffrey, Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel are all sidelined for this session. McCaffrey has been dealing with a hamstring issue since the Week 7 game in Atlanta. Coach Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday that McCaffrey is "not going today but hopefully a chance [Thursday]." The next few days of practice will be telling for McCaffrey's status going into Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Banged-up 49ers limp into their bye week after a 29-20 loss to the Falcons

For most of the first half, it looked as if the banged-up San Francisco 49ers were poised to head into their bye week with seven straight wins and an undefeated record

Dealing with mild hamstring strain McCaffrey is dealing with a mild hamstring strain rather than a quadriceps injury, and the 49ers believe he'll be ready following the team's Week 8 bye, David Lombardi of SF Standa...

Impact After McCaffrey briefly exited Sunday's loss to Atlanta with what had been described as a thigh issue, this update offers more clarity on the injury and a favorable outlook. The timing of the 49ers' bye gives the veteran running back added recovery time ahead of their next game in Week 9 versus the Raiders, though his practice status will still be worth monitoring once San Francisco returns to work. Kaelon Black will be a priority add off waivers considering CMC's injury history.

49ers' First Loss Makes It Clear: Their Toughest Opponent Is Their Health

Navigates injury in Week 7 loss McCaffrey rushed seven times for 39 yards and a touchdown and brought in six of seven targets for 61 yards in the 49ers' 29-20 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.

Impact McCaffrey missed the entirety of the second quarter while dealing with a thigh injury, and although he was able to return and play the second half, he finished with his fewest rush attempts and rushing yardage totals of the season. McCaffrey did punch in a one-yard touchdown run that capped off the opening possession of the game, and his work as a receiver, which included a season-high receiving yardage tally, helped prop up his final fantasy line as well. McCaffrey will now have the benefit of the Week 8 bye to heal up before returning to action in a Week 9 home matchup against the Raiders on Sunday, Nov. 8.

Reenters Sunday's game McCaffrey (thigh) returned to Sunday's contest in Atlanta, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Impact McCaffrey missed the entire second quarter as he had his left thigh worked on, which officially left him as questionable to return before he checked back in for the 49ers' first possession of the third quarter. Now that he's back in the contest, he likely will continue to lead San Francisco's backfield.

Goes to locker room Sunday McCaffrey (thigh) went to the locker room during Sunday's game in Atlanta, Harrison Rich of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact McCaffrey remained on the sideline for the 49ers' third possession to get his left leg worked on, which seemingly stemmed from a hit he took on a 24-yard catch on the team's first drive. Officially questionable to return due to a thigh injury, he attempted to warm up on San Francisco's bench before jogging to the locker room in the middle of the second quarter. Kaelon Black will be the team's leading runner for as long as McCaffrey is out of the contest.
