The Panthers news regarding Christian McCaffrey’s shoulder isn’t promising.
It was a triumphant return to the starting rotation for Christian McCaffrey in Week 9 at the Chiefs. The All-Pro running back fitted in seamlessly to the lineup following a six-week absence and he played a significant role in the Carolina Panthers almost pulling off the shock of the season.
However, this encouragement might be short-lived.
There was some bad Panthers news to emerge from the game besides the eventual 33-31 loss. McCaffrey went off the field with a shoulder injury and was unable to make an impression on a critical final drive that eventually resulted in kicker Joey Slye missing a long field goal that would have ended the team’s three-game losing slump.
