Christian McCaffrey will not be activated for Thursday night's game in Seattle against the Seahawks, league sources told ESPN on Saturday, even though the 49ers star running back is eligible to return.

The bigger question continues to be when McCaffrey, who has been on injured reserve since Week 2 with calf and Achilles tendinitis issues, will be able to return.

McCaffrey's return depends on how he fares in practice, but for now, there is some mild encouragement because the three-time Pro Bowler's calf and Achilles issues did not flare up after on-field work this week — his first on-field work since being placed on IR, according to league sources.

Although McCaffrey has been dealing with bilateral Achilles tendinitis, his issue is concentrated to one of his legs — and the other is faring better, according to sources.
