It didn't appear to bother him, as he returned to the game and scored a game-sealing touchdown in the fourth quarter to cap a 137-yard day, which included another one of those plays that few can make, and he seems to do routinely.
"It's exciting to go back. I think the most fun is when you watch film the next day," tight end Dan Arnold said Sunday. "He's seeing holes and he's hitting them, and just making plays. That one-handed snag for a third down, it's like, 'Whoa, this is a special guy.' He's really special. It's just really awesome to watch him."
But last week's behind him, because frankly, there's no time to look back. And he's ready for it.
McCaffrey wasn't on the simulated injury report for Monday at all (the Panthers only held a walk-through), so his status isn't an issue.
"No concerns," head coach Matt Rhule said of his star running back.
If they can get through this week, there's a chance to take a breath afterward, with the flip side of a short week being a long weekend before they go to Dallas in Week 4.
"You have to fit a full week of install and a full week of meetings into a short amount of time, but at the same time, on the back end, you get more days off for the next game," McCaffrey said. "It has its perks as well. At the end of the day, it is what it is, and we've got to just roll with the punches, and whatever the week asks of us, just go dominate the week and get ready to play ball on Thursday.
"To me, it doesn't matter. It is what it is. You just have to focus on the same stuff you always focus on, taking care of your body, taking care of your mind, and then getting in the installs and match it to the game plan so you can play fast."
