By Zac Wassink | Last updated 12/15/20 Carolina Panthers All-Pro running back Christian McCaffrey can't get back on the field. With the Panthers sitting at 4-9 ahead of this Saturday's matchup against the Green Bay Packers, maybe he should stop trying to return until next September. ESPN's David Newton and others have reported that Carolina head coach Matt Rhule does not expect to have McCaffrey available this weekend. The 24-year-old was limited in a walkthrough because of what was listed as a thigh injury. Recent history suggests that means McCaffrey will be a spectator for the 11th time across the past 12 contests.
