Sam Darnold said he thinks Christian McCaffrey will be back this season, but adds that’s him being optimistic.

 

I figured it was a hamstring pull, day to day. Is it a full tear? Wtf is going on here.

 

 

His gait was fairly unimpaired from the short clip I saw of him walking to the tent. Full tear would be obvious.

I couldn’t put any weight on my leg after I tore my hamstring and had an exaggerated limp when I would walk through the pain. He doesn’t have a full tear.
 

He will probably miss a couple of games. The good news is that Sam was forced to make throws to a bunch of other receivers and our backup RBs were forced to find ways to get yards and they all did it. Will be a big confidence boost going into the Dallas game. Would’ve been a lot worse to lose CMC in the Dallas game and then figure out life without him with bullets flying.

We can gameplan now without him.  I think that was our problem in the first half last night, no plan for no CMC.  Brady made adjustments and put something together for the second half that wasn't as reliant on McCaffrey being in.

Really depends on the grade of the tear. I've had a sizeable tear once and took 2 months to rehab. Pulled that same hammy 3 more times during the years following. Can be a nasty injury. Nfl players are a different breed though. 

This will hurt us. My guess 4-6 weeks

The horn injury will impact even more I think. Most great nfl teams have 3 good wr options. We had 2 good defenders, and a sheme to overcome #29's coverage. Horn also played the slot a bit and when he did he took away that option with his close-up playstyle. 

 

cowboys will score.

We had CMC long enough to get our feet under ourselves.  I'm torn but kinda hoping he rests and heals for a few games even if it's minor.  We've always known we've got to be able to pull out a few wins without him.  I'd rather try that out with the teams we face now rather than the ones we face at the end of the year.
