Will he play? Yes. Should he play? Hell no. 

And deny him the opportunity to have experience against NFL talent under NFL lights?  Deny valuable reps?  Set a tone of resentment with the rest of the team that they'll protect the Golden Child without him having to earn anything?

Rivera literally just gave an interview to charlotte observer saying he will play about a quarter and a half. Not sure if he will return punts. 

IMO it's more vital he gets return reps than any given how disastrous special teams turnovers can be.  Get used to fielding the ball@ BOA.

CMC might get some "Welcome to the NFL hits", but he's gonna give some "I'm here bitches" hits right back.  The kid can truck and people are underestimating his toughness and durability.

I'm not even sure why this is a question unless there are some health concerns or injuries we're unaware of.

Actually, I do know why this is a question, I'm just not going to bring it up.

@mjligon I think your opinion is shared by others, lol

He will most likely play a few downs, maybe the first quarter.  After that it will be all backups the rest of the night.

I don't want his first NFL live action to only be a handful limited reps against the starting Texans front.  

McCaffrey is a beast but the dude is gonna have to get some real work in this preseason.  Can't try to protect a rookie like he is a vet.  He needs speed reps and conditioning at this level. 

I hope to see reps with the starters in the first and then get reps after they leave...and see him on punts.

      The Evolution of the Panthers WR Room from 2023 to 2025

      I'm more impressed with the UDFA that the guys they have drafted in the first the last 2 years. A whole lot of prove it is still needed before any improvement should be talked about seriously.

      Sure.    ignore that he said this roster wasn’t good in 2023 to 2024 but keep up the effort

      PANTHERS @ HURRICANES ROUND 3 GAME 1

      While I don't believe its a must win, (we have been better on the road this post season) it is definitely A NEED TO WIN the longer this series goes the more pronounced the Canes advantage on rest and health will be! If we hold serve at home in games 1 and 2 guaranteeing a 6 game minimum series for them if we lose the road games..... by the game 4 and 5 I expect them to be beat they have played A LOT OF HOCKEY the last three years, they have MINIMAL rest off a more physical than one might have expected series vs the leafs.... you know Tampa took their pound of flesh in round 1 from them. Combine all that with the fact that even though this year's canes squad isn't as talented as last years this IS a better squad than the one they swept last time that had McKenzie Mckeathern on line 1 Turbo with a broken hand a banged uo and eventually concussed Slavin (and even though it was a sweep 6 OTS and 4 1 goal losses is hardly dominant)  This year Bob hasn't been superman (hes probably gonna still have a great save percentage agiast us just a side effect of our style) Thatchuk is maybe 50% (3 game winners agiast us) their defense no longer has Gudas and several other downgrades.  While the Canes have a healthy and performing Svechnikov along with other big guys to counteract florida like Carrier, Jankowski, Robinson.   I by know means think it will happen but I either see this as a low scoring dog fight or a series were the canes surprise and end up dominating.
