It’s been all downhill for Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey since his spectacular 2019 campaign. So now, he and the team are desperately trying to stop the tumble.
Their hopes for a healthier 2022 could see the star rusher sit out this summer’s preseason action entirely—an approach the Panthers took last year. And according to head coach Matt Rhule, he’s willing to do it again.
“I would hold him out of all the preseason games again,” he said following Tuesday’s voluntary OTAs. “I think he’s had enough hits on his body. But I think, just as we move forward, we’re gonna have a little bit of a different strategy practice-wise with him.”
