Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey is not expected to play on Sunday against the Buccaneers due to a right shoulder injury, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
McCaffrey appeared to hurt his shoulder/collarbone area late in last Sunday's game vs. the Chiefs when he was tackled on a first down reception. McCaffrey looked shaken up on the sideline after suffering the injury and returned for one play. He left the field again on the final drive.
Prior to last week's loss to the Chiefs, McCaffrey hadn't played since Week 2, when he suffered a high ankle sprain against the Buccaneers.
