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.

      And the QB before Rattler was worse! People are like well he only had one year of production. Analysts and malcontents always move the goal posts when they want.

      The 5th year allows tons of leverage when it comes to new contract talks. It's like having 20% more control of a contract. It allows cheaper numbers, cause well you have that 5years compared to 4. Plus you also have 6th, 7th, and 8th(I think) tagged years. Sure the QB doesn't play on it, but it allows teams to lower their offers given the years of control.  The deal with penix is he's also old too, so that 3rd year he's going to be 26/7 unlike 23.  You are also looking at the best side that penix can play and needs a new contract. It could easily be he's a bust and thus wasted this important era. The failcons should be comfy in the playoffs barring injuries. Now they missed on adding a edge making a key sack in the playoffs, to having spend the 8th overall on josh Rosen.  Honestly they should have drafted Rome Odunze. Pitts, Robinson, Allgeier, London, with a *healthy cousins.....that's 5/6 big problems for defenses. Most days they'd be able to drop 40.  Im super happy they didn't, but ask again in 3 years and I may regret.....
