League_Champion Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 He's a machine. Could he possibly be ready for this week's game?? https://www.panthers.com/news/christian-mccaffrey-returns-to-practice-field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gijoerock Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Why rush him back? Unless they removed him from the game for precautionary reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He missed a full week already since he left the game with injury. He may be back earlier than expected but not sure there's any reason to think the team is rushing him back.

gijoerock Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Depending on the grade strain most players are out 2 to 3 weeks regarding hamstring injuries. The Panthers know what this guy brings to the table. I would be very cautious with my lead horse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I'm not following CMC's situation that closely, but was reading now that he took place in pre-game warmups on Sunday. The team initially said hew was likely to miss "a few weeks" when he got injured. And that was following a Thursday game. Today would mark 2 weeks since that injury. The team said he looked really good in practice, some are saying it could be a GTD. We'll know more by the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplemonster Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Apparently it was a very mild strain and he's been out 2 weeks now. It seems a bit early to me, especially for a workhorse, 100% effort guy like Mccaffrey but we will see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
League_Champion Posted October 8, 2021 Author Share Posted October 8, 2021 Not gonna happen. #Panthers coach Matt Rhule says RB Christian McCaffrey is doubtful for Sunday, as the team goes with the cautious approach. Smart so early in the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Quarter Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 McCaffrey to I/r. Back week 9 maybe? It’s from espn and on the Huddle home page. Crap, this is why I hate the number 1 pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 The changes to the IR system (last year or maybe it was 2019 or before) have resulted in more of these moves to IR for a few weeks of rest. Just this week we've seen a handful of big names (CMC, Wilson, Carson) going to IR. Toss in some guys lost to COVID and fantasy owners along with real NFL teams are going to have some struggles. I'm in a bind if Hunt cannot play, I'll need to guess before the late afternoon game, and if I think he might not go plug in Booker for some sure points. I probably won't, unless I'm hearing rumors that he won't play. Not a great week to have Carson on IR, and Damien Williams on COVID list.

purplemonster Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Should have been more cautious on the front end if you ask me. Not to be all hindsight is 20/20 but this isn't great news for the Panthers. You know McCaffrey is going to go 100%, it is all he knows.
