Christian McCaffrey will be ready to rock after the bye week.
It has been a season littered with frustration for Christian McCaffrey. The star running back has spent all-but 3.5 games on the sidelines through injury and his presence in the lineup could have made all the difference for a roster that appears to be on the cusp of something special.
This is not what Christian McCaffrey or the Carolina Panthers hoped for going into the campaign. The organization gave their All-Pro a four-year, $64 million contract extension with a $21 million signing bonus and $38 million guaranteed this offseason, which was the richest contract ever given to a player at the position.
