Halloween brought a touch of whimsy for Olivia Culpo and Christian McCaffrey, but it wasn’t all seamless for the San Francisco 49ers star. Injured and waiting to rejoin his teammates, McCaffrey joined Culpo for a costumed night out – and while Culpo seemed to enjoy every bit of her “Wizard of Oz” Dorothy ensemble, McCaffrey appeared less enthusiastic about his own Tin Man get-up.
Fans have been keeping an eye on McCaffrey as he recovers from his recent setback, eager to see glimpses of him outside the game. The Halloween bash provided a rare moment for the couple to relax and enjoy time together, which they did with fellow NFL families in tow – a cozy scene complete with their dog, Oliver Sprinkles, nestled in Culpo’s basket.

Culpo, ever the social media personality, couldn’t resist sharing the moment with her followers, captioning the post with a playful “We’re off to see the wizard! .” But while Olivia dazzled in her ruby red slippers and blue gingham dress, McCaffrey’s stony Tin Man expression seemed more about getting through the night than embracing the costume spirit. Fans couldn’t help but notice the running back’s less-than-thrilled vibe.
Even with his Halloween reservations, McCaffrey’s return to the field remains a top topic. With a possible Week 10 comeback on the horizon, the athlete has shown steady progress in recovery, something Culpo has been subtly documenting. Just weeks earlier, she posted a clip of McCaffrey swimming, playfully dubbing him “flipper boy” as he worked on his strength and mobility – a comforting sight for fans longing for his return to the lineup.
Kyle Juszczyk’s wife, Kristin, along with other 49ers’ significant others, joined the Halloween celebration, providing a bit of camaraderie and support for the couple. With McCaffrey’s injury casting a shadow on their plans, this lighthearted gathering was a welcome break from the intensity of NFL life.
Schefter’s update sparks hope for McCaffrey’s return amid 49ers’ injury struggles
NFL insider Adam Schefter recently shared an encouraging update, hinting that McCaffrey’s recovery is going smoothly and that he’s on track to return post-bye week. According to Schefter, McCaffrey has had “no setbacks,” raising hopes that he’ll be back to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
For the 49ers, McCaffrey’s comeback couldn’t come soon enough. With Brandon Aiyuk sidelined for the season, the team is scrambling to fill crucial gaps. McCaffrey’s 2023 stats – including a league-leading 1,459 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns – remind fans just how much his presence on the field matters.
As anticipation builds, the couple’s Halloween outing served as a playful respite – a brief chance to step out of the spotlight, even if it meant one Tin Man would rather stay out of costume. For fans, it’s just one more reason to root for his swift return, hoping to see a fully spirited McCaffrey back in action.
