Christian McCaffrey Officially Ruled Out Against Vikings
3 years agoCarolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) has officially been ruled out for Week 6 against the Minnesota Vikings. McCaffrey missed practice on Thursday and Friday, sealing his fate for a third straight missed game. Things are starting to look awfully similar to his disappointing 2020 season when he missed the majority of the year due to injuries. The Panthers are understandably playing things extra cautiously, but CMC is now developing a reputation of being a really slow healer. Rookie Chuba Hubbard will operate as the team's lead back yet again this Sunday in a good matchup against the Vikings. The fourth-rounder has 158 rushing yards on 37 attempts (4.27 yards per carry) the last two weeks with McCaffrey sidelined. Hubbard will be in play with RB2 upside again in Week 6.
