ESPN insider Adam Schefter reported that two San Francisco 49ers players listed as questionable – running back Christian McCaffrey and wide receiver Deebo Samuel – are expected to play on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. For those who follow the team closely, this news comes as no surprise, as head coach Kyle Shanahan hinted at earlier this week.

The 49ers activated McCaffrey from injured reserve on Saturday and wanted the star running back to make his debut in the 2024 season. He had to take a break due to Achilles tendonitis.

Meanwhile, Samuel was battling rib and oblique muscle injuries, which limited his participation in training throughout the week.

“They had a good week,” Shanahan said of Samuel and wide receiver Jauan Jennings, who has missed the last two games. “I expect them to come back.”

The 49ers enter Week 10 with a 4-4 record and looking to secure their first consecutive wins of the season.

The other 49ers listed as questionable are defensive end Nick Bosa (hip) and safety Malik Mustapha (calf). Offensive lineman Jon Feliciano (knee) was demoted and ruled out. He remains on injured reserve.
