With McCaffrey and Evans not practicing for the rest of the week, there is a good chance that they won't be available against the Raiders. It'll be important to see if they practice in the next two days, and they may have the opportunity to play.
McCaffrey picked up an injury against the Atlanta Falcons two weeks ago, but it didn't seem like it was anything serious. As for Evans, he's been dealing with injuries throughout the season, but he's still found a way to play through them to a certain extent.

Bosa being able to practice is big for the 49ers, and the hope is that he can suit up for them this week. The 49ers' defense has dealt with several injuries this season, but they've still been able to play at a high level. If Bosa returns, that definitely gives their defensive line a boost, and they can put pressure on the quarterback.
