Greg Papa on Christian McCaffrey’s recovery as he nears a return to practice

After missing the first nine weeks of the 2024 NFL season, San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey is nearing a return to the field.

During Friday’s edition of The Carmichael Dave Show with Jason Ross, the guys were joined by Greg Papa, the radio voice of the 49ers, to share an update on McCaffrey, explain what needs to happen in order for CMC to be cleared for next weekend’s game in Tampa Bay, and much more.

The San Francisco 49ers enter its’ 2024 Bye Week in a peculiar position. Are they sellers or buyers at the trade deadline?

Recent history would say the latter for the perennial playoff contender, especially after coming up just short of the Lombardi Trophy last February. But at 4-4, the vibes around the Red & Gold seem a bit off at the halfway point of 2024 regular season.

Yet, it would behoove the 49ers to make a trade or two if they want to salvage its’ season.

General manager John Lynch and the front office have been active in years past. Last season the 49ers traded for defensive end Chase Young. The year before that: All-Pro running back Christian McCaffrey.
