McCray (calf) was placed on injured reserve by the Panthers on Friday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
EDGE Analysis
The decision came after the left guard missed practice all week. The minimum injured reserve stay is four games and the Panthers have four contests remaining in 2023. The 31-year-old signed a one-year deal with Carolina in the offseason and made two starts for the team this season.

McCray (calf) is listed as out for Sunday's game versus the Falcons.
EDGE Analysis
McCray was not able to participate at practice at all during the week, so it comes as no surprise that he won't play Sunday. His being sidelined leaves Carolina remarkably thin on the interior of its offensive line for Week 15, with Ricky Lee probably the player best suited to step in at guard if something were to happen to one of starters Cade Mays or Nash Jensen.

The Panthers signed McCray to their active roster Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran offensive lineman has appeared in three games for the Panthers' this season, starting at left guard in Week 13. Over the course of his seven-year career, McCray has spent time with the Packers, Browns, Falcons, Texans and Panthers, making 30 career starts. He'll likely remain Carolina's starting left guard as the season progresses.

McCray was signed by the Panther on Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
McCray spent the past two years with Texans, where he started two games last season. The 30-year-old has played every position on the offensive line at some point in his career, and while it remains to be seen if he will have a chance to compete for a starting job this season, McCray will still bring solid value as a versatile blocker.

McCray (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
McCray missed the Week 14 clash versus Dallas as a result of a hamstring issue, but he's limiting his absence streak to just one game now that it's been revealed he's going to suit up this weekend against Kansas City.

McCray (hamstring) is listed as out for Sunday's game at the Cowboys.
EDGE Analysis
McCray won't be available in Week 14 after filling in for Kenyon Green (shoulder) for part of Houston's loss versus Cleveland in Week 13. The Texans will have to operate without much depth at the guard position Sunday.

McCray (concussion) was a full participant during Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
McCray was sidelined for Houston's Week 9 loss to the Eagles due to a concussion he picked up a week prior. However, he appears to have cleared the league's protocols and, barring a setback, is on track to suit up against the Giants on Sunday.

McCray (concussion) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
McCray left Sunday's matchup against the Titans and failed to return, as he was sent to be evaluated for a concussion. He failed to practice leading up to Thursday's matchup and will unsurprisingly be held out on a short week.

McCray didn't return to Sunday's game against the Titans since he was being evaluated for a concussion, Deepi Sidhu of the Texans' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
McCray started at right guard Sunday since A.J. Cann (illness) was unavailable, but he was unable to return to the game due to his head injury. If he's diagnosed with a concussion, he'll have to clear the league's protocols if he hopes to play Thursday against the Eagles.
