Christian McCaffrey is set to return for the Carolina Panthers after missing three games with a shoulder injury.

The Panthers could be without two of their top three receivers due to COVID-19 protocols on Sunday, which makes McCaffrey's return even more important.

McCaffrey has played in just three games this season due to ankle and shoulder injuries.

"I hope it's par for the course just for 2020,'' McCaffrey said. "It would be amazing if on January 1st it all went away. That's really what we've all learned in this whole year and the reason that we're doing this over the phone.

"You've got to be able to adapt, and you can't make excuses. You've got to move on and do the best you can with what you have. That's football with injuries that come along. And then you have COVID.''
