Panthers vs Texans - Will Christian McCaffrey play tonight?

[Jeremy Igo]

What do you feel the Panthers will do with McCaffrey tonight? 

They will rest Stewart. We know that for sure. Do you think they rest McCaffrey as well? 

I have to think in front of a home crowd he gets at least a few carries. Fans won't be too happy if they have to watch Fozzy and CAP all night long.

I expect CMC will get some work tonight.

Is CAP healthy? 

[Nails]

Why in the world not?  He already missed valuable off-season reps.  Give him at least 8-10 total touches tonight.

[MurkN]

Yes, I do think he'll play tonight.

[Jon Snow]

He will most likely play a few downs, maybe the first quarter.  After that it will be all backups the rest of the night.

Of  course

[Dex]

10-15 reps at various positions.

That may honestly be the most interesting part. I would love to see him in the slot and outside as well. But they may save that for week 1

[Steve_Smith_Sr.]

He will get some reps for sure, but I hope it's sparingly.  We cannot afford an injury when it doesn't count.

I'm actually very interested in how CAP and Fozzy perform. 2 weeks ago I would have given Fozzy the nod for the roster spot, but now I have no idea. I also want to see Young in action, his name has been popping up a lot lately.

Even if he's only in for 1 series, I want to see CMC in pass protection. I doubt he got a lot of experience doing that at Stanford since he had the ball in his hands on every frikkin play.

[The Huddler]

Rivera literally just gave an interview to charlotte observer saying he will play about a quarter and a half. Not sure if he will return punts. 

[bleedsgreenandgold]

Gotta get 10-12 touches and a TD to hype up the jersey sales. Like others have said, I'm interested to see him in pass protection.

[Castavar]

He's not even a proven commodity lol Of course he is going to play and play a lot. He's not even close to a point where we can say "let's rest this guy" unless of injury.

[t96]

Not sure I've ever heard of a healthy rookie sitting out a preseason game.
