00:00Doc, can I bring up something a little off the beaten path?

00:06We haven't been able to get into the Niners, I feel, in a few of the weeks because some

00:10of the guys we were expecting to come back have returned.

00:13I'm sure you know where I'm going with this.

00:15Christian McCaffrey, what in the world are you guys doing in that room with the CMC situation?

00:22We've said for a while now he's not coming back in October.

00:25November is the earliest.

00:27The second he went to Germany, we said November is the target.

00:31Now we're almost to the middle of October, and guess what?

00:34He gets a three-week practice window.

00:37It's not being opened.

00:39Why wouldn't you open it if he was going to return to play sooner than that?

00:43It's November at best, but we do believe that he will return this season, but it's November

00:48at best.

00:49Obviously, his backup, Jordan Mason, who's done very well, has an AC joint sprain where

00:54he could get it injected and play through, but in San Francisco, it's just to add water.

00:59They've got another running back behind.

01:00It's been amazing.

01:02That is a really good point.

01:03Let me sneak this in as well, Doc, quickly.

01:05The Derek Carr outlook a few weeks here?

01:09You know, I think Derek Carr could probably play on Thursday.

01:12Let's see what Spencer Rattler does.

01:13Derek Carr has a history of playing through and coming back on the white horse as the

01:18hero.

01:19Maybe he will this Thursday, too.

01:20Let's see what happens.

01:24We'll see what happens.

01:25We'll see what happens.
