Christian McCaffrey has made significant progress in his recovery from Achilles tendinitis and is expected to return to practice next week. After missing the first eight games of the season, McCaffrey's return is eagerly anticipated by the 49ers. Coach Kyle Shanahan expressed optimism about McCaffrey's recovery, stating that he has had no setbacks and is on track to rejoin the team soon. Other injured players on the 49ers will also be monitored during the bye week.

As the San Francisco 49ers prepare for their upcoming game against the Arizona Cardinals, they are facing the challenge of extreme heat, with temperatures expected to reach 99 degrees. In response, the team has made changes to their uniform and emphasized hydration among players. Coach Kyle Shanahan expressed concern over the heat and its potential impact on player performance, especially with a quick turnaround for their next game. The Cardinals, accustomed to hot conditions, may have an advantage in this matchup.

Brandon Aiyuk, wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers, has been cleared to return to the field after missing last week's game with a left shoulder injury. However, fellow wide receivers Deebo Samuel and Jauan Jennings are listed as questionable and doubtful, respectively. Samuel has been dealing with rib and knee injuries, while Jennings has a shin injury. The team will turn to Ray-Ray McCloud and rookie Ronnie Bell to fill in the snaps alongside Aiyuk, and may also elevate Chris Conley and Willie Snead IV from the practice squad for depth.
