49ers RB Christian McCaffrey is expected to make his 2024 season debut on Sunday against the Buccaneers after being activated from injured reserve. Coach Kyle Shanahan indicated earlier that McCaffrey could have returned last week, but the team chose to hold him out, prioritizing his long-term health, given the nature of his Achilles injury. Now fully prepared, he is poised to contribute significantly against Tampa.
Wide receiver Deebo Samuel is also expected to play, recovering from rib and oblique injuries. Coach Shanahan expressed optimism about Samuel's readiness, stating, "They've had a good week," referring not just to Samuel but also to receiver Jauan Jennings, who has faced his own setbacks. The anticipation surrounding Samuel's return adds to the team's offensive strategies as they aim for their first consecutive win this season.
