Panthers WR Adam Thielen limited in practice on Thursday

The Panthers, for the second straight day, listed WR Adam Thielen as a limited participant in practice.

Carolina Panthers wideout Adam Thielen was a limited participant for the second straight day of practice.

The 11th-year receiver, who has missed the last seven games due to a hamstring injury, is expected to make his return on Sunday—when the Panthers host the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs. Thielen was officially activated to the 53-man roster ahead of the team’s Week 10 win over the New York Giants.

Carolina also added a trio of players to the listing this afternoon—starting right tackle Taylor Moton (rest), outside linebacker D.J. Wonnum (quadriceps) and kicker Eddy Piñeiro (left knee). Moton was held out while Wonnum and Piñeiro were limited.

Panthers QB Bryce Young named starter for Week 8 matchup vs. Broncos

With Andy Dalton dealing with a right thumb injury, the Panthers will hand the reins back over to Bryce Young in Week 8.

The Carolina Panthers will, once again, look a little different under center.

On Wednesday, head coach Dave Canales announced that second-year quarterback Bryce Young is set to start in the team’s Week 8 matchup against the Denver Broncos. The second shot for the 2023 No. 1 overall pick comes as a result of a right thumb injury to veteran Andy Dalton, who was involved in a minor car accident on Tuesday.

Young was benched following a disappointing start to his sophomore campaign. He passed for just 250 yards and three interceptions over a pair of losses.

Here, headlined by Dalton, is Wednesday’s full injury report:

Panthers Week 7 inactives: Diontae Johnson to play vs. Commanders

Panthers WR Diontae Johnson is active for today’s matchup against the Commanders.

Despite a few doubts, the Carolina Panthers will have their leading receiver in uniform for today’s matchup from the nation’s capital.

Wideout Diontae Johnson is set to play against the Washington Commanders later this afternoon. The sixth-year veteran was listed as questionable for the contest on Friday with ankle, ribs and hamstring injuries.

Johnson did not participate in practice sessions on both Wednesday and Thursday with the ankle issue. He was then upgraded to a limited participant on Friday, but carried two additional injury designations for his ribs and hamstring.

Through six games, Johnson leads the Panthers in receptions (29), receiving yards (340) and receiving touchdowns (three).

The Panthers will, however, be without a few key starters including right tackle Taylor Moton (elbow), defensive lineman A’Shawn Robinson (ankle) and inside linebacker Josey Jewell (hamstring/groin)—all of whom were ruled out on Friday. Outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney (shoulder) will also be a no-go for the second straight week.

Here are all the Week 7 inactives for Carolina:

  • ILB Claudin Cherelus
  • OLB Jadeveon Clowney
  • ILB Josey Jewell
  • OT Taylor Moton
  • ILB Jon Rhattigan
  • DL A’Shawn Robinson
  • TE Tommy Tremble

And here are the inactives for Washington:

  • DE Dorance Armstrong
  • QB Jeff Driskel
  • LB Dominique Hampton
  • S Tyler Owens
  • G Chris Paul

Panthers Week 7 injury report: 6 players ruled out vs. Commanders

The Panthers will be without a handful of starters in Week 7.

The Carolina Panthers defense will be without even more of their starters in Week 7.

Six players have been ruled out ahead of Sunday’s matchup against the Washington Commanders—including defensive lineman A’Shawn Robinson (ankle) as well as inside linebackers Josey Jewell (hamstring/groin) and Claudin Cherelus (hamstring). Cherelus got the starting nod in place of Jewell in last week’s loss to the Atlanta Falcons.

On offense, the team will be without starting right tackle Taylor Moton (elbow) for the second straight outing and rookie running back Jonathon Brooks (knee). After being sidelined for the offseason and the first six weeks of the regular season, Brooks was officially designated to return to practice on Wednesday.

In addition, wide receiver Diontae Johnson (ankle)—who returned to the field on Friday after missing the two previous practices—has been listed as questionable.
