Panthers' Christian McCaffrey: Puts in another limited practice

McCaffrey (hamstring) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday and said afterward that he feels great and "definitely" has a chance to play Sunday against the Eagles, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

For the second straight day, McCaffrey turned in a limited showing in practice, with Schuyler Callihan of SI.com noting that the running back ditched his red no-contact jersey in the portion of Thursday's session that was open to the media. Though initial reports suggested McCaffrey would miss at least two weeks due to his hamstring injury, he's making a strong push to re-enter the lineup Sunday after sitting out just one game. Unless McCaffrey upgrades to full participation Friday, he's still a good bet to carry a questionable designation into the weekend, which could result in him being a game-time call ahead of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Chuba Hubbard started in McCaffrey's place Week 4 and would be in store for another enhanced role Week 5 if the Panthers decide to play it safe with their top back and hold him out for another contest.
