Panthers place Christian McCaffrey on Injured Reserve after hamstring setback

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey will miss at least the next three games due to a hamstring injury. McCaffrey was placed on Injured Reserve on Saturday after sustaining a hamstring setback during practice.

The move ensures McCaffrey will miss three games. He's eligible to return for the team's game against the New England Patriots in Week 9. Chuba Hubbard will likely see the majority of the carries with McCaffrey sidelined.

McCaffrey originally sustained the injury during the team's Week 3 game against the Houston Texans.
