For the second year in a row Panthers’ running back Christian McCaffrey’s season has been cut short by injury. The team announced Monday that McCaffrey would be placed on injured reserved after suffering an ankle injury during Carolina’s 33-10 loss to Miami.
Monday night, via his Instagram page, McCaffrey sent a message to Panthers fans that he would fight to return better than ever.
“I love playing football and have dedicated my entire life to what I believe to be the greatest sport in the world. Getting healthy and back on the field this season has been my focus everyday from the time I wake up until I go to bed. I’ve put family, friends, and all other interests on hold so I can fully concentrate my efforts on treatment, training, practicing, studying, preparing, and playing the game I love at the highest level which is why my season coming to an abrupt end today leaves me devastated. I am thankful to everyone who continue to help and support me through this difficult time and promise I will fight with everything I have to return bigger, stronger, faster, and better than ever. #KeepPounding!
