San Francisco 49ers star running back Christian McCaffrey, listed as questionable with an oblique injury, is expected to play in Monday night’s game against the Minnesota Vikings, NFL Network reported.
McCaffrey returned to practice Saturday in a limited capacity Saturday after sitting out Thursday and Friday.
ESPN reported Sunday morning that McCaffrey felt “great” after that practice and was in line to play against the Vikings.
McCaffrey tied an NFL record in Week 6 with a touchdown in his 15th straight game before exiting with the injury.
All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) is doubtful after he played through an injury in last Sunday’s loss to the Browns. The 10-time Pro Bowl selection hasn’t played a full season since 2013. Star wide receiver Deebo Samuel is out this week and next week as well with a shoulder fracture.
Starting linebacker Dre Greenlaw (hamstring) is questionable for Monday’s game.
