00:00We'll be back in just a few minutes.

00:05Doc, Tampa Bay Bucks, San Francisco 49ers talking about a lot of attention.

00:07That's Christian McCaffrey back in the lineup today.

00:09What can we expect from Christian McCaffrey health and moving forward?

00:13Well, your SportsGrid viewers know this, that we said since September it would be November for Christian McCaffrey.

00:19And it's November, so here we go.

00:22He is back.

00:23He is 100% quote healthy on the Achilles tendonitis.

00:27But what the 49ers have to be careful of is early season acclimation muscle injuries for CMC.

00:34This is early season for CMC.

00:37You can't run him into the ground and all of a sudden get a hamstring or a calf or a quad or whatever it is.

00:42And obviously this started as a calf and then became an Achilles tendonitis on both sides.

00:47So this is why I don't see him playing 70 snaps.

00:51Jordan Mason is healthy from his AC joint coming off the bye.

00:54The 49ers are rested coming off a bye.

00:56I see a share here.

00:58Maybe CMC gets all third down snaps, but I don't think he's the only runner today.

01:03Doc, let me ask you one more quick question about the San Francisco 49ers.

01:06Deebo Samuel, oblique injury, any concerns for him today?

01:10Not really.

01:11He's going to go and be able to play through coming off the bye week, etc.

01:15He should be good to go.
