Christian McCaffrey Set to Return from Injury vs. Broncos, Per Panthers' Rhule

superstar running back is set to return to the field for Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos, per David Newton of ESPN.

"There's nothing to make me think he's not," head coach Matt Rhule said Monday.

McCaffrey was already injured twice previously this season. An ankle injury suffered in Week 2 kept him out for six weeks. He returned for one game, but a shoulder injury landed him back on the shelf and forced him to miss three additional games before last week's bye.

While McCaffrey hasn't played much this season, he has been highly effective when on the field, registering 374 yards from scrimmage and six touchdowns in just three games.
