Panthers' Christian McCaffrey: Viewed as '50-50' for Week 6

Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said Wednesday that McCaffrey (hamstring) is "probably 50-50" to play in Sunday's game against Minnesota, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Rhule made his comments following a limited practice from McCaffrey, who previously logged limited sessions Wednesday through Friday of last week. He was then listed as doubtful on the final injury report and ended up missing a second straight game. While McCaffrey hopes to avoid a third straight absence, Rhule acknowledged that his star running back is likely to be a game-time decision Sunday, per Newton.
