Panthers RB Christian McCaffrey (ankle) on IR one more week

Myles Simmons on Twitter

Oct 05, 2020 · 1:19 PM EDT

Christian McCaffrey still has at least a week to go on IR.

Related players: Mike Davis

Fantasy Impact:

HC Matt Rhule says McCaffrey is “attacking rehab every day.” McCaffrey was on the sideline yesterday as well which is a good sign he's recovering from his ankle injury. Davis will at least fill in another week. One thing to note is Simmons said in another tweet it's still not known when McCaffrey can play as it was a 4-6 week injury.

Panthers RB Christian McCaffrey (ankle) placed on IR, will miss at least 3 weeks

The Panthers placed RB Christian McCaffrey on injured reserve Wednesday with a high ankle sprain.

Fantasy Impact:

Injured reserve is not as scary as it normally sounds with it only requiring the player to sit out three games this season, but this report puts a damper on McCaffrey's optimism from yesterday when he said he would beat his 4-6 week timetable. Mike Davis should take over the majority of the backfield work in Carolina, although the odds of him replicating McCaffrey's production are slim. McCaffrey will be eligible to return Week 6, but we will have to wait for additional reports to know whether he will be ready to play immediately when eligible.

Panthers RB Christian McCaffrey (ankle) hopes to be back before 4-6 week timetable

Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey confirmed today that doctors tell him he’s going to miss four to six weeks with an ankle injury.

McCaffrey himself, however, is optimistic that he can miss less than that.

“They say four to six weeks,” McCaffrey said. “That’s a challenge to me. Hopefully I can get back a lot earlier. I’m going to attack this.”

Fantasy Impact:

If the Panthers put McCaffrey on injured reserve, he’d miss at least three weeks but could return after that thanks to the NFL’s special injured reserve rules for this season. It seems unlikely McCaffrey could be back any sooner than that, but he’s hoping that he can beat the 4-6 week projection the story said.

Panthers believe in RB Mike Davis

Mike Davis is first up.

Davis, 27, was signed by general manager Marty Hurney in November after being cut by Chicago. He had only two rushes for 2 yards last season as the former staff under coach Ron Rivera liked Reggie Bonnafon as the backup to Christian McCaffrey, who played almost 94% of the snaps.

New coach Rhule has been high on Davis, though, saying the 2015 fourth-round pick out of South Carolina had one of the best training camps of anybody. As recently as last week, after McCaffrey played 97% of the snaps in the opener, Rhule said he wanted to get Davis more playing time.

Fantasy Impact:

It looks like Davis will get more playing time as McCaffrey is expected to miss a couple of weeks. As the story said, Davis is capable. He has 10 career starts, including six for Seattle in 2017, when he rushed for 240 yards on 68 carries and caught 15 passes for 131 yards. If the team is in fact high on Davis, it could mean they are out on a free agent like Devonta Freeman, who is visiting the Giants today. Davis looks to be a must-add off the wire this week.
