The two-time All-Pro sat out practice on Friday and was listed as questionable for the contest. The reported calf issue brought up memories of McCaffrey's bilateral Achilles tendinitis last year. The injury caused him to miss the first eight games of the season, and he lost five more games to close the year with a right PCL sprain.
