Christian McCaffrey to miss "a few weeks"

[Wanderlai]

3-0 sure was nice. Oh well...realty check will be harsh. We beat two bottom feeders and a sketchy Saints with COVID issues. Dallas will be be a true litmus test.

I'm cautious with this update. A "few weeks" can turn into a month, can turn into him coming back too early like last year. If this team is in contention in November, hold him out as long as possible for a playoff push.

You have to be certain the hamstring is healed.  You can't take 90% and pray it doesn't strain again.  CMC will want to play but we've got to be certain.

Don't see why we don't put CMC on IR and use his spot for someone else.

Anything from OUR team officially on either?

They are likely still examining to see just how bad the injury is and will evaluate how long they will keep him out. IR has a mandatory 3 week wait period (correct me if im wrong) so they're likely waiting...

Hope that heavy college use and us riding him into the dirt hasn't caught up… Time to be on the safe side and draft a 1st round RB.

As long as they don't throw the ball to Hubbard then he'll be fine.

He better be on a jugs machine in his spare time.

Sure!  Right after we shore up our oline with first round LT.  We probably could actually throw a late first at another lineman the year after.  About this time we'll want to put another high pick into the dline.  And I imagine somewhere in those few years there will be a can't miss guy that falls to us that we take because BPA.

League source confirms Christian McCaffrey expected to miss a few weeks with his hamstring injury, as reported by

@RapSheet

 

. Key will be not rushing him back and McCaffrey not overdoing his rehab, which is what happened last year.

That's decent news considering

We heard rhis last year too and it lasted all season. He will be trade bait with a team that doesn't need him to carry the load.

Only  7 of the top 10 running backs in 2020 were picked after the 1st round. I'm going to suggest that if we want a RB, we trade down and get our 2nd round pick back and use that on a RB.

Top 10 RBs in 2020

• Henry - 2nd round
• Cook - 2nd round
• Taylor - 2nd round
• Aaron Jones - 5th round
• James Robinson - UDFA
• David Montgomery - 3rd round
• Nick Chubb - 2nd round
• Josh Jacobs - 1st round
• Melvin Gordon - 1st round
• Zeke - 1st round

Wonder if we can get mike back from the falcons

Well he’s out next week and the schedule is trash until AZ (6weeks). NE may be just ok but Bills and Bucs x2 is after week 10 so if he needs that rest just sit him.
