I\u2019d be surprised to get him back this week. But hopefully the bye week will go well and have a much better chance there right after the bye week.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McCaffrey led the NFL with 1,459 rushing yards in 2023 and he won the league\u2019s Offensive Player of the Year. He signed a two-year, $38 million contract extension June, making him the highest-paid running back in the NFL. The injury-plagued 49ers (3-4) desperately need McCaffrey back in the lineup. They are coming off a 28-18 loss to Kansas City on Sunday, their second loss in the past three games.<\/p>\n<p>Backup Jordan Mason has played very well in McCaffrey\u2019s absence, rushing for a league-leading 667 yards and three touchdowns in seven games.
