Christian McCaffrey Returns To Practice, Likely To Play In Limited Fashion Against Vikings

Christian McCaffrey, the Panther star running back, logged a limited practice Wednesday as he recovers from his Week 3 hamstring strain. Head coach Matt Rhule told reporters Wednesday that he believes McCaffrey has a "50/50" chance to play Sunday. Based on his progress and being close last week we do believe he will return to play this week against the Vikings. However, he may end up sharing some snaps with Chuba Hubbard and not have his usual targets in the passing game. Hubbard had 210 rushing yards in his three games filling in for McCaffrey and added 10 catches for 74 yards. The Stanford alum certainly is headed towards playing this week, although Week 7 is when we expect him to return to his usual three-down back status.
