NFL: McCaffrey placed on IR

The Panthers placed running back Christian McCaffrey on injured reserve Saturday, meaning he will miss at least the next three games with a hamstring injury.

McCaffrey already has missed two games, both Carolina losses. The earliest he will be able to return to game action is Nov. 7 against the Patriots.

The Dolphins activated QB Tua Tagovailoa from IR after missing three games with fractured ribs. He is likely to start Sunday against the Jaguars at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.

Pro Football Hall of Fame President David Baker announced his retirement. Baker, 68, had served in the role of president and executive director since January 2014. Jim Porter, 57, the Hall’s chief marketing and communications officer since April 2020, has been named president and will oversee all daily business operations.

The Ravens activated rookie firstround pick WR Rashod Bateman from IR. He will be eligible to make his NFL debut Sunday against the Chargers. Baltimore also activated OL Tyre Phillips from IR and elevated RB Le’Veon Bell and T Andre Smith from the practice squad.
