The Panthers played the final 13:25 of Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers without running back Christian McCaffrey, who suffered an ankle injury. 

McCaffrey limped off the field after scoring his second touchdown of the day, a 7-yarder on fourth-and-2 that cut Carolina's deficit to 21-14 early in the fourth quarter. 

Athletic trainers then re-wrapped McCaffrey's right ankle, but he never returned. 

"I know he came out in the first quarter at one point, and then at the end of the game they said he was out with a lower leg injury," said head coach Matt Rhule, who didn't have an update on the extent of McCaffrey's injury after the game. 

"I haven't seen the doctors yet to tell me where he's at." 

Before he was sidelined, McCaffrey had 18 rushing attempts for 59 yards and a pair of scores. He also caught four passes for 29 yards. 

McCaffrey was replaced by Mike Davis, who finished with one carry for 1 yard and eight receptions for 74 yards. 

Sunday was the 50th game of McCaffrey's career. He has not missed a game in his three-plus seasons.

There have been a ton of injuries today at every position. The Niners and Broncos lost like half their starters...

I know. But think a little deeper. CMC has had a massive workload the past 2 years. RBs take some of the most hits in the league and they wear out quickly. There are outliers. I hope he is one of them because he can be an awesome asset if we get a stud qb on a rookie deal and beef up this oline.  I know this conversation has happened a lot and I love cmc and he is awesome to watch but I expect him to start getting knicked up a lot these next couple of years.

      Jack Roslovic: Only 2 other UFA, right-handed centers age 28 or under had more points (39) than him- Sam Bennett (51) and Pius Suter (46). There were 4 other centers age 33 and older who scored more: Gireaux (37), Marchand (37), Tavares (34), Granlund (33).  Unless the Canes go old, if they let Jack walk, they won't get a center who scored more.  Thoughts?

      It's important to differentiate criticism and hate. I can't speak for that individual you quoted. But most people who have been critical of the Tepper's have been so because both of them have made it a point to put themselves front and center and in the middle of team operations and we have been largely horrific more often than not as a result. If people are making derogatory remarks about her that should be met with an appropriate response but if people are being defensive just because she's being criticized all I can say is people should get used to it. Both her and David would have been getting absolutely skewered by the media and the fans if this were a big market franchise. The Lakers are finally being sold off after years and years of public criticism of Jeannie Buss and even though I'm the furthest you could go from being a Lakers fan just about anyone you could meet who is familiar with the NBA would say the criticism was certainly valid.
