Panthers star running back Christian McCaffrey will miss the rest of the season because of an ankle injury, the team announced Monday.
An MRI Monday revealed an ankle injury that the team said was, "severe enough to place him on injured reserve."
"Because of the time it would take to recover, and because it will be his second time on injured reserve this season, the news means McCaffrey will miss out on the Panthers' final five regular season games after the bye week," the team said in a statement.
It is unclear if the ankle injury will require surgery.
