Carolina Panthers
running back Christian McCaffrey could return to the lineup in
Week 11, NFL Network reported.
McCaffrey is out Sunday with a shoulder injury described by
Panthers head coach Matt Rhule as an "AC joint issue." He was
injured in the second half of the Panthers' loss at Kansas City
last week.
Rhule said Wednesday that McCaffrey is "pretty much out this
week and we'll see how it looks next week."
McCaffrey went for a second opinion on his shoulder Wednesday.
NFL Network reported Thursday that visit sparked optimism the
All-Pro running back could miss only one game with the shoulder
problem.
McCaffrey, 24, has rushed for 225 yards and five touchdowns and
caught 17 passes for 149 yards and one score in three games this
season.
In 2019, he gained 2,392 yards from scrimmage and scored 19
touchdowns.
The Panthers host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this Sunday and the
Detroit Lions in Week 11.
