He used that word a lot, including when asked whether he thought Thursday games should be a thing.
"I don't know, if you ask me, I would definitely say, and I think I'm probably not alone in this, I would argue against them," he said. "I understand. It's part of the game. I could sit here and complain, and I'm not complaining. But it is frustrating sometimes when you feel like something could be avoided with a little more rest.
"I'm sure if I would have gotten through that game 100 percent, I wouldn't have said anything about it. that's just me and my personal views."
Having him back also provides a lift to the team, as they come off their first loss of the year. It comes the same week as the team trading for former NFL defensive player of the year Stephon Gilmore, but Gilmore is still two weeks from being able to play.
The idea of having McCaffrey available sooner is obviously something they'd enjoy.
"Having Christian in the game plan at all times is just going to stress the other side out," wide receiver DJ Moore said. "To have him is always a plus."
Without him last week, the Panthers used rookie Chuba Hubbard, Royce Freeman, and practice squad call-up Rodney Smith against the Cowboys, and while they aren't McCaffrey (neither individually nor collectively), they weren't necessarily the problem.
"Any time you have the opportunity to have 22 on the field, that changes a lot of things," offensive coordinator Joe Brady said. "We'll see his status come game time. We're obviously preparing for everybody in the room, Royce, Chuba, and Rodney to carry the load like they did last week, and we're always confident that all the guys in the room can have success.
"Anytime 22 is out on the football field, he makes us better, but we'll see on Sunday."
