We entered the weekend reasonably confident about the statuses of McCaffrey and Samuel. Head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed that McCaffrey would be activated from injured reserve on Saturday, and both players were expected to take the field on Sunday.
McCaffrey is making his 2024 season debut after being sidelined due to Achilles tendinitis.
The availability of Bosa and Mustapha was less certain.
Bosa suffered a hip injury during practice and was limited throughout the week. When asked if he was concerned about his availability for Sunday's game, Shanahan said, "I am, to a degree. He wasn't able to do a lot. He definitely was extremely limited. Hoping he'll be all right, but we'll see on Sunday."
When asked if Mustapha's status was in jeopardy, Shanahan said, "Yeah, it is. Hopefully, it won't be too big of a deal, but halfway through practice (on Thursday), his calf was bothering him, so we shut him down there."
Bosa's status became more optimistic after pre-game warm-ups, during which he appeared ready to take on the Buccaneers. We'll see if he receives his typical workload in the game.
The 49ers will likely be close to full strength for their Week 10 matchup at Raymond James Stadium. The team aims to win its second consecutive game and improve to 5-4 on the season.
