NFL inactives Week 10: 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey active for first time in 2024 season

Christian McCaffrey is active for the San Francisco 49ers for the first time this season. After what head coach Kyle Shanahan called an “awesome” performance at practice the past two days, McCaffrey will make his season debut against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. He was officially activated off injured reserve on Saturday.

McCaffrey has been out all season due to Achilles tendinitis and calf tightness, with trouble first coming when he was a late scratch in Week 1. He was soon placed on injured reserve, with a hazy timetable to return to the field.

He underwent treatment from a specialist in Germany in September and didn’t return to practice until this week. This week, he has been listed as a limited participant in practice.

With McCaffrey out, the 4-4 Niners have struggled to replicate their success from last season, due to both the running back’s absence and other factors. Jordan Mason has handled the bulk of running duties, posting 685 rushing yards and three touchdowns while averaging 5.1 yards per carry (McCaffrey averaged 5.4 yards last season).

Here are the inactives for Week 10. (Players will be added as teams release their reports.)
