The Carolina Panthers are erring on the side of caution with star running back Christian McCaffrey.
Christian McCaffrey might be chomping at the bit to get back onto the field. But the Carolina Panthers are erring on the side of caution regarding his impending return.
The All-Pro running back has been sidelined since Week 2 with a high-ankle sprain, which has seen the Carolina Panthers go on a 3-1 run in his absence. They definitely missed his dual-threat ability during Sunday’s defeat at home to the Chicago Bears, but he could now only be a few days away from getting himself back into the lineup.
