Jammie Robinson - Returns to full health Robinson (knee) was absent from Wednesday's injury report.
Impact Robinson hasn't played since Week 7 due to the injury but appears set to return to action Sunday against the Chiefs. The second-year pro's return could be a boost to the Panthers' special teams unit.

Tommy Tremble - Comes off injury report Tremble (back) was not listed on the Panthers' injury report Wednesday.
Impact The Notre Dame product has missed four of the Panthers' last five games due to a concussion and a back injury. However, his absence from Carolina's injury report Wednesday suggests that the team's Week 11 bye provided enough time for him to recover from his back issue. With Tremble back to full health, he's expected to serve as the Panthers' No. 2 tight end in the Week 12 matchup against the Chiefs, playing behind rookie Ja'Tavion Sanders.

Jaycee Horn - Dealing with calf issue Horn was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a calf injury.
Impact Despite the Panthers having a Week 11 bye, Horn appears to have picked up a calf injury since the team's Week 10 win over the Giants. His participation in practice Thursday and Friday will likely provide the best indication of whether he can suit up for the Panthers' Week 12 matchup against the Chiefs.

Xavier Woods - Limited Wednesday Woods (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Impact The 29-year-old now appears to be dealing with a shoulder issue following the Panthers' Week 11 bye. Woods has appeared in all 10 of Carolina's games this season, recording 69 total tackles and three passes defended, including two interceptions. If he's unable to suit up when the Panthers host the Chiefs in Week 12, expect Lonnie Johnson to serve as Carolina's top free safety.

Adam Thielen - Medically cleared to play Thielen (hamstring) has been medically cleared to play and said he took team reps for the first time in eight weeks during a limited practice Wednesday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte...
Impact Previously limited to individual drills or side work, Thielen has now progressed to team drills after a Week 11 bye. He said Monday that he anticipates playing against the Chiefs this Sunday but will still need to see how he holds up in practice throughout the week. Thielen's impending return will cut into Jalen Coker's playing time unless the Panthers adjust by putting Coker on the perimeter and moving David Moore to the bench.

Jonathon Brooks - Remains full practice participant Brooks (knee) practiced fully Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Impact Brooks was a full practice participant during the entirety of preparations prior to the Panthers' last game Sunday, Nov. 10 against the Giants in Munich, Germany, but Carolina ultimately included him among its inactives for Week 10. Following the team's Week 11 bye, he remains uncapped on the practice field, and coach Dave Canales told Steve Reed of the Associated Press on Wednesday that he has "high hopes" for Brooks making his pro debut Sunday against the Chiefs. Brooks likely will take a back seat to Chuba Hubard in his initial NFL forays, but the rookie second-round pick should have some sort of regular role, considering the draft capital invested in him.

Adam Thielen - Limited in practice Thielen (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Impact Thielen said Monday that he anticipates returning this Sunday against the Chiefs, although he wasn't quite ready to guarantee it and said he'd have to see how he feels during practice this week. His impending return may cost rookie Jalen Coker playing time, or the Panthers could adjust by putting Coker on the perimeter and moving David Moore to the bench.

Adam Thielen - Expected back for Week 12 Thielen (hamstring) said Monday that he anticipates being ready to play Sunday against the Chiefs, Kassidy Hill of the Panthers' official site reports. "I mean, obviously a lot of...
Impact Head coach Dave Canales echoed the notion that Thielen is expected to be back in action Sunday, but the Panthers are still likely to observe the veteran wideout's activity throughout the week of practice before deciding on his status. Though Thielen was reinstated from injured reserve when his 21-day evaluation window came to an end last Tuesday, he was listed as a non-participant in the Panthers' most recent three practice sessions prior to the team's Week 11 bye. Thielen didn't appear to be doing much work on the field during Monday's unofficial practice session, but he's apparently confident about the progress he's made in his recovery from the right hamstring injury coming out of the bye week. Thielen produced an 8-109-1 receiving line on 12 targets through Carolina's first three games prior to landing on IR, and he should have an opportunity to serve as the team's No. 1 pass catcher down the stretch after Diontae Johnson was traded to the Ravens in October.

Miles Sanders - Unlikely for Week 12 Panthers head coach Dave Canales said Monday that Sanders (foot/ankle) is considered week-to-week and is unlikely to play Sunday against the Chiefs, David Newton of ESPN.com report...
Impact Sanders was carted off the field with the lower-body injury during the Panthers' Week 10 overtime win over the Giants on Nov. 10, with Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reporting three days later that the running back was viewed as day-to-day. Despite having the benefit of a Week 11 bye to aid in his recovery, Sanders' injury looks to be more significant than the Panthers initially believed, as he wasn't on the field for the team's unofficial practice session Monday, per Joe Person of The Athletic. Sanders has been serving as the top backup to lead back Chuba Hubbard this season, but rookie second-round pick Jonathon Brooks (knee) is poised to make his NFL debut Sunday and could retain the No. 2 role even once Sanders is back to full health.

Jonathon Brooks - Tracking toward debut in Week 12 Panthers head coach Dave Canales said that he "fully expects" Brooks (knee) to play Sunday against the Chiefs, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Impact Brooks has been out all season while recovering from the torn ACL that he suffered last November during his final collegiate campaign at Texas, but he was a full participant in practices in Weeks 9 and 10 before Carolina went on bye for Week 11. Assuming he experiences no setbacks with his surgically repaired right knee during Week 12 prep, Brooks should be ready to handle a complementary role behind starter Chuba Hubbard. With Hubbard still expected to see the lion's share of the snaps and touches out of the backfield moving forward after inking a four-year, $33.2 million extension earlier this month, Brooks will likely struggle to earn enough volume to make for an appealing option in fantasy lineups.

Bryce Young to make 4th consecutive start for the Panthers
Bryce Young will make his fourth straight start at quarterback for the Carolina Panthers on Sunday against the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs2 DAYS AGO • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Bryce Young - Remains starter after bye week Panthers head coach Dave Canales confirmed that Young will remain the team's starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Impact After a five-game benching earlier in the season, Young returned to the starting lineup Week 8, when Andy Dalton was unavailable after suffering a thumb injury in a car accident. Though Dalton was cleared to resume playing Week 9, Young proceeded to start in both of the Panthers' final two games prior to their Week 11 bye, guiding Carolina to wins over the Saints and Giants while completing 60.8 percent of his passes for 5.8 yards per attempt and a 2:1 TD:INT between those two victories. While his numbers since reclaiming the starting role aren't overly impressive, Young has still taken a step forward from his lowly production during his 2023 rookie campaign and the first two games of 2024. He'll remain a low-end fantasy option while he continues to start for Carolina, with his utility largely limited to leagues that start two quarterbacks or have a QB flex spot.

Amare Barno - Window opens Barno (knee) was designated to return from the reserve/PUP list Monday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Impact Barno suffered an ACL injury late last season and has been on the PUP list since training camp opened. He'll now have a 21-day window to practice with the team before he needs to be added to the 53-man roster.

Caleb Farley - Gets chance with active roster Farley was signed to the Panthers' 53-man roster from their practice squad Monday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
Impact Farley was elevated from the practice squad for each of the last three games, which is the limit allowed. During that time, the Virginia Tech product has played a part-time role in the secondary and on special teams, totaling five combined tackles. Barring injuries, he should maintain a similar role in the weeks ahead.

Adam Thielen - Not practicing Monday Thielen (hamstring) was spotted working off to the side during Monday's practice, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Monday's session wasn't an official one, as the Panthers merely held a bonus practice following their Week 11 bye. Even so, Thielen's lack of participation in drills doesn't inspire much confidence that he's fully recovered from the right hamstring injury that has kept him from playing since Week 3. The Panthers activated Thielen from injured reserve last Tuesday, but the transaction may have had more to do with the wideout's 21-day evaluation window expiring rather than being an indication that he was healthy. In any case, the Panthers will wait and see what Thielen is able to do in official practice sessions Wednesday through Friday before forecasting his odds of playing in Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Ian Thomas - Goes to IR Carolina placed Thomas (calf) on its injured reserve list Monday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Impact Thomas was forced out of Carolina's last game before its bye early by a calf injury, and now he'll have to sit out for at least the next four contests as he recovers. In the meantime, Feleipe Franks could see an uptick in offensive snaps.
