#Panthers RB Christian McCaffrey isn’t expected to play Sunday against the #Saints — the fifth game he’s missed since a high ankle sprain in Week 2, sources tell me and @MikeGarafolo. He’s close, but they’re staying cautious with a Thursday night game vs. Atlanta up next.

The Carolina Panthers won’t be loaded for bear when they face the New Orleans Saints, with all-star running back Christian McCaffrey still on the mend while recovering from a Week 2 high ankle sprain. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero and Mike Garafolo reported that Carolina wants to remain cautious with their best player, eyeing a Thursday night game days after Sunday’s kickoff with the Saints for his return.
