The San Francisco 49ers are gearing up for the return of running back Christian McCaffrey, waiving running back Patrick Taylor to clear a roster spot ahead of his activation.
McCaffrey's return is significant as it reduces the need for additional running back options. With his expected activation, the 49ers will rely on him as the primary back.
After missing the entire season due to Achilles tendinitis, McCaffrey's activation is anticipated to occur Saturday, just in time for a game against the Buccaneers.
Taylor, who contributed mainly on special teams, may rejoin the 49ers' practice squad to maintain internal depth at the running back position.
