The Carolina Panthers have reinstated wide receiver Adam Thielen from injured reserve after he dealt with a hamstring injury since Week 3. Although the team is on a bye in Week 11, Thielen's activation was crucial as he would not have been eligible to play again this season otherwise. His return could significantly impact the Panthers' passing game, especially after the trade of Diontae Johnson to Baltimore.
- Thielen's activation from IR is a positive sign for his recovery.
- The bye week will provide him additional time to heal.
- His role in the offense could increase after the trade of Diontae Johnson.
