STANFORD, Calif. -- Stanford star running back Christian McCaffrey will return from an undisclosed injury to play in the Cardinal's game against Colorado on Saturday, coach David Shaw said.
McCaffrey missed the Cardinal's 17-10 win over Notre Dame last week after leaving in the second half of their 42-16 loss to Washington State two weeks ago. He did not limp off the field, but Shaw said McCaffrey was "banged up" ever since that departure.
The reigning Associated Press National Player of the Year returned to practice in a limited role late this week, and Shaw publicly cleared him to play an hour and a half before kickoff against Colorado.
