CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Running back Christian McCaffrey will miss his third straight game and 16th in 22 under coach Matt Rhule when the Carolina Panthers play the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday at Bank of America Stadium.
McCaffrey has been dealing with a hamstring injury since straining it in the second quarter of a September 23 win at Houston. Rhule was optimistic the Pro Bowl back would return this week after practicing last week on a limited basis.
But McCaffrey was limited again on Wednesday and didn't practice on Thursday or Friday, forcing the Panthers to again turn to rookie Chuba Hubbard as the starter.
