Panthers' Adam Thielen: Leads team in targets
Adam Thielen recorded five receptions on seven targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 30-14 loss to the Cowboys.The Carolina Panthers couldn't get their passing attack on track, with the only explosive play being an 83-yard touchdown pass to Jalen Coker. Thus, despite leading the team in targets and receptions, Thielen turned in a modest performance. Positively, he should remain Bryce Young's top target, though the overall state of the Carolina offense may lead to inconsistent results.

Panthers' Adam Thielen: Tops century mark Sunday
Adam Thielen caught nine of 11 targets for 102 yards in Sunday's 22-16 loss to the Eagles.It's the first time this season that Thielen has topped 100 yards, with his last such performance coming in Week 6 of the 2023 campaign.

Panthers' Adam Thielen: Impressive showing against Bucs
Adam Thielen recorded eight receptions on 10 targets for 99 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to the Buccaneers.Thielen led the team in targets and posted his highest yardage total since Week 6 of the 2023 season. His longest catch came on a 25-yard touchdown with 30 seconds remaining in the game for what appeared to be the game-winning score. He also chipped in a pair of 16-yard grabs and narrowly missed another touchdown grab just before halftime when he was ruled out of bounds on a controversial call. While the Carolina Panthers will likely try to get Xavier Legette and some of their other younger pass catchers involved down the stretch, Thielen has quickly become a favorite target of Bryce Young in two games since returning from a hamstring injury.

Panthers' Adam Thielen: Makes immediate impact upon return
Adam Thielen recorded three receptions on four targets for 57 yards in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Chiefs.Thielen was active for the first time since Week 3 after recovering from a hamstring injury. He finished fourth on the team in targets but made an immediate impact on the Carolina offense by accounting for the unit's longest play from scrimmage on a 36-yard catch late in the first quarter. Thielen also chipped in with a 13-yard reception on fourth down late in the fourth quarter to set up a game-tying touchdown. While the Carolina Panthers will be invested in getting targets to Xavier Legette and other younger skill position players down the stretch, Thielen should have a steady role among the receiver corps.

Panthers' Adam Thielen: Active for first time since Week 3
Adam Thielen (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Darin Gantt of the Carolina Panthers' official site reports.Though he was activated from injured reserve during the Panthers' Week 11 bye, Thielen had still been listed as questionable heading into Sunday after logging a trio of limited practices this week. The Panthers were ultimately satisfied enough with the veteran wideout's health to clear him to play for the first time since Week 3, and he could immediately settle into a high-volume role in the passing attack. Since Thielen last played, the Panthers have traded away No. 1 wideout Diontae Johnson to the Ravens, and Carolina will also be down another key pass catcher Sunday in undrafted rookie receiver Jalen Coker (quadricep), who played 90 percent of the offensive snaps in a Week 10 win over the Giants.

Panthers' Adam Thielen: Expected to play
Adam Thielen (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Kansas City, but Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales said Friday that the wide receiver will play, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.Thielen's active status should be confirmed 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff. He never quite made it back to full practice participation, instead logging limited sessions each day this week. The exact nature of his role remains in question, as Jalen Coker (quadriceps) has done solid work from the slot in recent weeks but now is listed as questionable after missing Friday's practice. While the Panthers may be inclined to move Coker to the perimeter anyway to free up slot work for Thielen, it's fair to say Thielen's Week 12 volume projection improves if he's active and Coker isn't.

Panthers' Adam Thielen: Remains limited in practice
Adam Thielen (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.Thielen's reps have been capped in both of Carolina's first two official practices of Week 12 coming out of a bye week, but the wideout has previously indicated that he expects to play Sunday against the Chiefs. While Thielen's prediction could end up coming to pass, he'll still likely need to upgrade to full practice participation Friday to avoid taking a designation into the weekend. Thielen was activated from injured reserve over the Carolina Panthers' bye week after having missed the team's last seven games with a right hamstring injury.

Panthers' Adam Thielen: Medically cleared to play
Adam 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 Observer reports.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 upcoming return will cut into Jalen Coker's playing time unless the Carolina Panthers adjust by putting Coker on the perimeter and moving David Moore to the bench.

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

Panthers' Adam Thielen: Expected back for Week 12
Adam Thielen (hamstring) said Monday that he anticipates being ready to play Sunday against Kansas City, Kassidy Hill of the Carolina Panthers' official site reports. "I mean, obviously a lot of days from now until the game, but encouraged with how [Monday's workout] went," Thielen said. "But still have to gain some ground to feel really good about playing on Sunday, but definitely encouraged, took full advantage of the week and excited to at least be back out there moving around and being with my team."Head coach Dave Canales echoed the notion that Thielen is expected to be back in action Sunday. Though the veteran wideout 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 his right hamstring injury. 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 with Diontae Johnson now a Raven.
