Panthers' Christian McCaffrey: Present at Friday's practice

McCaffrey (thigh) participated at the start of Friday's practice, Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports.

McCaffrey is coming off back-to-back missed sessions, but he's managed to shed the red jersey and replace it with a white uniform Friday. If the star running back is able to upgrade to at least 'limited' activity on Carolina's final Week 4 injury report, it will signify a step in the right direction for his chances of suiting up versus Arizona on Sunday. In any case, the Panthers will disclose an official game-day designation for McCaffrey on Friday.
