Report: Panthers RB Christian McCaffrey tests positive for COVID-19
Carolina Panthers star running back Christian McCaffrey is already out for the remainder of the season with an ankle injury. On Tuesday, he reportedly received more bad news.
The 2019 All-Pro was limited to just seven games this season due to multiple injuries and played only three contests in 2020. He played in 48 consecutive regular-season games to begin his career from 2017 through 2019.
Despite the limited action this year, the 25-year-old still ranks a close second on the Panthers in rushing attempts (99) and rushing yards (442), while placing second in receptions (37) and third in receiving yards (343).
McCaffrey is among a host of star NFL players who tested positive for COVID-19, was placed in the league's protocols, or was put on the reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday alone. Others include Kansas City Chiefs lineman Chris Jones, Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and eight members of the Cleveland Browns.
