## Key points

- McCaffrey returned to practice ahead of the Raiders game.
- Evans is unlikely to play as the 49ers manage his tendonitis.
- Samuel remains out, while Stout and Hobbs may return.

## Summary

Christian McCaffrey returned to 49ers practice on Thursday after a hamstring injury, improving the prospect that he will play against the Raiders on Sunday. Nick Bosa has also resumed individual drills, while the team’s recovery progress is more uncertain for receivers Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel.

Evans missed a second consecutive practice with Achilles tendinitis, and general manager John Lynch said he is unlikely to play this week; the team wants to prevent the condition from lingering. Samuel is still recovering from a severe hamstring strain suffered in Week 5. Upton Stout is edging towards a return at nickelback, while Nate Hobbs could make his season debut after starting the year on injured reserve.
