Why it Matters: McCaffrey missed a chunk of the first half with a thigh injury, which likely contributed to his season-low seven carries. On the plus side, he remained active in the passing game and still finished with 100 total yards and a touchdown. Keep an eye on his injury status moving forward, but it doesn't seem like he is dealing with a serious injury.
