Adam Thielen

NFL Insider Jordan Schultz reports Panthers WR Adam Thielen “is expected to miss some time” with a hamstring injury.

Schultz adds that the timeline for a return remains unclear, which makes sense considering his age and history of soft tissue injuries. The 34-year-old veteran has eight catches for 109 yards and a touchdown through three games, leaving the Panthers scrambling to fill the WR2 role in his absence. Expect the offense to flow through Diontae Johnson at an increasingly steady rate moving forward.
