This is obviously not a good situation and while we don’t know the extent of the injury, it’s never a good thing when suffers a non-contact injury.
In fact, non-contact injuries are among some of the scariest that can happen to someone.

According to Sports Doc Matt, McCaffrey possibly strained his hamstring and that means he’ll miss multiple weeks.

Hopefully, McCaffrey is back sooner than later. You never want to see anyone get hurt, especially a player of his caliber.
