Panthers star running back Christian McCaffrey suffered an inversion left ankle sprain in the Week 12 loss to the Dolphins. By video, the 25-year-old turned his left ankle on a three-yard run early in the second quarter. McCaffrey remained in the game for the next two drives, but was absent for a crucial drive at the end of the first half. After the injury play, he had three rushes for -2 yards. He did not touch the ball in the second half, but was on the field for a handful of plays.
Carolina gets a bye Week 13, then plays the Atlanta Falcons at home in Week 14. McCaffrey was seen in a walking boot after the game, but we believe that was used as a precaution to take stress off of the ankle. McCaffrey has a solid chance to play against the Falcons and should be able to handle work in the rushing and passing games.
