Coach Matt Rhule said Wednesday that McCaffrey (shoulder) is "day-to-day" or "week-to-week," clarifying that the running back's AC joint injury won't be season-ending, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
McCaffrey isn't expected to practice or play this week, and he's already scheduled for a second opinion on the shoulder. Meanwhile, Mike Davis is set for another stint in the lead back role, though it isn't likely to last for six games again, even if the 3-6 Panthers take a cautious approach with McCaffrey over the final two months of a rebuilding season.
