It doesn’t appear that McCaffrey, who has been out the entire year, will return imminently.
“No telling when he will be back,” NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said Thursday (33-second mark below).
“Certainly seems like more of a matter of weeks rather than McCaffrey nearing a return, which means more Jordan Mason for the San Francisco 49ers.”

McCaffrey led the NFL with 2,023 yards from scrimmage and 21 touchdowns last season. The three-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro earned Associated Press Offensive Player of the Year honors for his efforts.
