Before tonight's game against the Seattle Seahawks, Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer gave an update on San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey, who has not played yet this season and remains on the injured list due to calf and Achilles tendonitis.

“He just started feeling like himself again last week, so they started working him out in the last few days,” Breer said during pregame coverage. “The good news is that there has been no upswing and no setbacks. He’s feeling good, so the Niners are optimistic about where he’s at.”

“But this is a scary deal for him. He is determined to play this year. I would say the next two or three weeks are crucial.”

Breer also provided an update on rookie wide receiver Ricky Pearsall, who remains on the non-football injured list (NFI) after being shot in the chest during a robbery attempt on August 31.

“Ricky Pearsall, their first-round draft pick, will return to practice next week,” Breer reported.

Once the 49ers open Pearsall's practice window, the team has 21 days to remove the receiver from the injured list.

Next week, the 49ers begin preparing for their Super Bowl rematch against the Kansas City Chiefs, followed by a matchup with the Dallas Cowboys before their Week 9 bye.
