ANALYSIS: "It was already fixing to be a long season in Carolina.


With star running back Christian McCaffrey expected to be out 4-6 weeks with a high ankle sprain, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, it's going to get a lot longer.


McCaffrey piled up 88 total yards and scored both of the Panthers' touchdowns Sunday against the Buccaneers, but he suffered the ankle injury late in their game. Although the fourth-year tailback said he was "fine" after the game, but Monday's MRI revealed otherwise.


"Carolina's defense is terrible," Davenport said. "Teddy Bridgewater threw for more than 300 yards Sunday, but he was picked off twice. And now CMC is hurt. Looking at Carolina's schedule, it's hard to point out many matchups that look like potential wins. This team is going to be in the hunt for a top-five draft pick—and possibly the new quarterback that comes with it."
