Report: 49ers' McCaffrey, Samuel, Williams could play in Week 7

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (oblique), wide receiver Deebo Samuel (shoulder), and offensive tackle Trent Williams (ankle) could return for the game against the Minnesota Vikings next Monday, sources told Adam Schefter of ESPN.

All three players avoided long-term injury, and their progress at practice this week will determine if they can suit up.

McCaffrey suffered his ailment in the second half of the Week 6 game against the Cleveland Browns. He attempted to return but later jogged to the locker room and was ruled out.

Samuel was hurt early in the first half of that game. X-rays came back negative on his injured shoulder, and he's considered day-to-day, per Schefter. Williams briefly exited with an ankle injury but returned to finish the contest, playing in 97% of the snaps.

The 49ers fell to 5-1 with the loss against the Browns after putting up only 215 yards of offense, the fewest they've had in a single game this campaign.
