Likely out a few weeks McCaffrey (hamstring) is expected to miss a few weeks but won't be placed on injured reserve for now, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Impact Getting injured on a Thursday rather than Sunday might work in his favor, but the star running back still appears likely to miss Week 4 against the Cowboys. McCaffrey was injured during the first half of Thursday's 24-9 win over the Texans, giving way to Chuba Hubbard and Royce Freeman in the Carolina backfield. Hubbard led the way with 16 touches for 79 yards, and he'll likely be the starter for at least the next week or two.
