CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey will miss the remainder of the season with an ankle injury.
McCaffrey, who starred at Valor Christian High School in Highlands Ranch, had an MRI on Monday that revealed the injury was severe enough to put him on injured reserve. Because of his anticipated recovery time and given that it would be his second time on IR, the news means McCaffrey will miss out on Carolina’s final five regular-season games following its bye week.
The 2017 first-round draft pick was injured in the first half of Carolina’s 33-10 loss to the Miami Dolphins and played only sparingly in the second half.
