Week 4’s final injury report may say otherwise, but Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey is feeling great. Like, really great.
McCaffrey spoke with reporters following Friday’s practice, a return to the field for the sixth-year rusher after a pair of absences on Wednesday and Thursday. And he made it a point, despite his “questionable” designation, to express how well he’s doing.
“I feel great. I feel great,” he said when asked if he’s certain about his status for Sunday’s matchup with the Arizona Cardinals. “Just part of the deal. Ya know, play with some stuff every once in a while. But, feel great.”
Joining McCaffrey on the questionable side of the report is wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr., the other star of Week 3’s victory over the New Orleans Saints. Head coach Matt Rhule said his newest weapon, who reeled in two catches for 90 yards and a score in his team debut, will be a game-time decision.
