For the first time here in 2022, the sixth-year running back missed consecutive days of practice. In addition to his usual rest period on Wednesday, McCaffrey was also a no-go for Thursday’s session.
Although he would return for some action on Friday in a limited capacity, the oft-injured rusher has been saddled with a questionable designation for today’s contest due to that quad issue.
Regardless, McCaffrey told reporters after the release of the final injury report that he’s feeling fine.
“I feel great. I feel great,” he said. “Just part of the deal. Ya know, play with some stuff every once in a while. But, feel great.”
We’ll see how great he, and the Panthers, really feel a bit later.
