McCaffrey is unlikely to play in Sunday's preseason contest at Indianapolis, Alaina Getzenberg of The Charlotte Observer reports.
After an injury-plagued season in which he made just three appearances, McCaffrey returned to 100 percent by the offseason program, and offensive coordinator Joe Brady said before training camp that the running back's health concerns from 2020 wouldn't impact his workload for the upcoming campaign. Despite the injuries last season, McCaffrey still racked up 374 yards from scrimmage and six TDs on 76 touches when he was on the field, which is indicative of what he's done in the past. However, exhibition action this month will have to wait until Saturday, Aug. 21 versus the Ravens, if it happens at all before Week 1.
