Are the Carolina Panthers doing a little “one step forward and two steps back” with Christian McCaffrey?
Following a limited workout during yesterday’s practice, McCaffrey was held completely off the field on Thursday. The All-Pro rusher has missed Carolina’s last two games, and is now in deeper jeopardy of making it a third against the Minnesota Vikings.
McCaffrey exited the Panthers’ Week 3 win over the Houston Texans with what has now been diagnosed as a strained hamstring. If he does, indeed, sit out this Week 6 contest, he will now have been sidelined for 16 of the team’s last 22 games.
Here’s how the injury report rolled out on the afternoon:
Injury | Wed. | Thurs. | Fri. | Game status | |
LB Shaq Thompson | Foot | DNP | DNP | ||
Neck | Full | FP | |||
RB Christian McCaffrey | Hamstring | Limited | DNP | ||
CB C.J. Henderson | Shoulder | Limited | LP | ||
LB Kamal Martin | Concussion | – | DNP |
Punter Joseph Charlton, after officially being placed on the injured reserve, now finds his way off the report. Martin was an addition, as he’s been listed with a concussion.
