Christian McCaffrey Undergoing Further Evaluation For Shoulder Injury, Week 10 Status In Doubt

According to Ian Rapoport, Panthers RB Christian McCaffrey is being further evaluated after suffering a shoulder injury at the end of Sunday’s loss to the Chiefs. 

Rapoport says McCaffrey’s status for Week 10 is very much in doubt. 

The star runner for the Panthers just returned from a month-long absence from a high ankle sprain this week. 

McCaffrey, 24, is a former first-round pick of the Panthers back in 2017. He was entering the final year of his four-year, $17.224 million contract when the Panthers signed him to a new four-year, $64 million contract extension that also included his expected fifth-year option.

In 2020, McCaffrey has appeared in three games for the Panthers and rushed 59 times for 225 yards (3.8 YPC) and five touchdowns, adding 17 receptions for 149 yards and a touchdown.
