Weather for 49ers vs. Buccaneers is welcomed news for returning injured players

The 49ers should welcome back a number of injured players in Week 10 against the Buccaneers, and the weather shouldn't be a major factor.

Usually in November, teams across the league begin preparing for the hard reality of cold-weather games, often influenced by rain, sleet and snow.

Unless travel plans involve Florida.

Granted, the Sunshine State can have rainy conditions all year long, and hurricanes can be formidable, as we saw in the greater Tampa Bay region when Hurricane Milton made landfall earlier this fall.

But the San Francisco 49ers won't have to worry too much about that when they visit the 4-5 Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 10.

Coming off a Week 9 bye, the Niners are starting to get healthy at the right time. Wide receiver Jauan Jennings, who missed to games with a hip injury, is poised to return. And all signs are pointing to All-Pro running back Christian McCaffrey making his 2024 debut after missing the first eight weeks of the season with Achilles tendinitis.

Cold-weather games, or even ones with extreme inclement weather, wouldn't be ideal for returning injured players, particularly in McCaffrey's case.

Fortunately for San Francisco, the NFL weather forecast for Week 10 at Raymond James Stadium is about as ideal as could be.

Granted, it'll be on the warmer side at kickoff when the 49ers face the Bucs. According to the latest forecast, the temperature will be 86 degrees with partly cloudy skies.

There is a four-percent chance of rain showers, which could create some slick conditions. But, avoiding a pouring downfall has to be good news to Jennings, McCaffrey and the rest of the visiting Niners this Sunday.

Humidity will be 54 percent, and there'll be southeasterly winds of nine miles per hour.

While the warm and modestly humid weather could open the door to some player cramps during the game, the mostly ideal conditions make things preferable at game time.

San Francisco squares off against Tampa Bay on Sunday, Nov. 10 at 1 p.m. ET.
