Christian McCaffrey has been given the green light to return from IR ahead of the Carolina Panthers’ game against the Chicago Bears.

The Carolina Panthers might be getting Christian McCaffrey back sooner than expected. Their star running back was expected to miss 4-6 weeks with a high ankle sprain. But he has now been cleared to return from the reserve/injured list after working hard to recover ahead of schedule.

This would be another significant boost for Matt Rhule and offensive coordinator Joe Brady.
