Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey is not expected to play Sunday against the Buccaneers, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com (on Twitter). McCaffrey is now considered to be week-to-week with his right shoulder injury, though he’s meeting with a specialist today for a second opinion. 
Last week’s game against the Chiefs marked McCaffrey’s return to the field after he was sidelined with an ankle injury. Now, after taking a big hit from Kansas City safety Daniel Sorensen, he has a new ailment to deal with. Before that, CMC ran for 69 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries and caught ten passes for 82 yards and a TD.
McCaffrey did not miss a game during his first three seasons. Even in a trying 2019 for Carolina, McCaffrey managed 1,387 rushing yards off of 287 carries, giving him an average of 4.8 yards per tote. He also caught 116 passes for 1,005 yards through the air. All combined, he notched 19 touchdowns on the year, paving the way towards his record-breaking four-year, $64MM deal in the offseason.
The 33-31 loss to KC knocked the Panthers down to 3-6 on the year, which means that the Panthers may have a tough decision to make if McCaffrey’s issue lingers.
I would just sit out the rest of the year. He’s in their long term plans. If they do add another playoff team then Mike Davis is capable of handling the duty.
Easy for you to say- what about all of us who picked CMC with the 1st pick of the draft?
That’s your fault. You should have picked someone less injury prone like Michael Thomas.
Also, with respect as a fantasy football manager myself, no one cares about your fantasy teams.
The article literally says CMC didnt miss a game his first three years. Also, Michael Thomas has missed all but 2 games this year because of 2 consecutive injuries, and 1 week of disciplinary reasons.
He was obviously being sarcastic greg. Whoosh. “Nothing goes over my head, my reflexes are too fast”
Thats why he used michael thomas as an example and not zeke. Thomas has missed the entire season
Yes- a sarcastic answer to a sarcastic rhetorical question might I add. Hahaha
wait … what??
Please list the man’s injuries prior to 2020
I felt the same way until I remembered: this would mean a high 1st round pick in my Keeper league … let him sit!
lol
Technically, you are an A-hole!!!
Lol yeah because the Panthers really care that he’s on my fantasy roster. Hahaha please stop even if it’s sarcasm
It would be great to see Carolina draft all O this time around!
