It's been only three weeks since McCaffrey suffered the injury. He told reporters on Sept. 21 that doctors initially diagnosed him with a four-to-six-week recovery timeline, though he wanted to return sooner. McCaffrey suffered the injury during the second half of the loss to Tampa Bay. He was still able to run in a 7-yard touchdown before exiting the contest.
McCaffrey doesn't have to come off of IR now just because it's been three weeks. When he is designated to return, he'll have a 21-day practice window before he must be placed on the 53-man roster or will revert to IR for the rest of the season.
Though he played in just the first two games of the season, McCaffrey continues to lead the Panthers with four touchdowns this season. The 2019 first-team All-Pro totaled 223 yards from scrimmage on 48 touches in the first two games.
