Report: Panthers' Christian McCaffrey expected to miss 4-6 weeks with ankle injury

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey is expected to miss 4-6 due to an ankle sprain he suffered in a loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, NFL Network reported.

McCaffrey suffered the injury on a 7-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter. He had his ankle taped on the sideline but was ruled out and did not return to the game. He underwent an MRI on Monday.

He also did something to his leg in the first quarter and came out of the game, coach Matt Rhule said in the post-game video call with reporters.
