Report: Christian McCaffrey May Miss More Time with Shoulder Injury

Christian McCaffrey returned to the field for the first time since week two, Sunday against the Chiefs. The Panthers’ all-pro running back picked up where he left off – finishing with 151 all purpose yards and one touchdown. But his return may be short-lived according to NFL reporter Ian Rapoport – who tweeted McCaffrey may miss more time after injuring his shoulder.
