That said, when will he return?

High ankle sprain is a nagging injury, then a hamstring injury on top of that. He won't be back soon enough because we really need him this week against the Bucs. 49ers the next week, and Falcons after. The next 3 week will probably determine playoff seeding.

Good question.

I think others will need to step up if Mike is unable to go against the Bucs.

Not sure if you've heard but the Niners have lost Jimmy G for the season and Kittle is done for at least 2 months.

Tampa will be tough however I see 3 winnable games.
