Carolina Panthers wide receiver Adam Thielen is set to return to action against the Kansas City Chiefs after being sidelined since Week 3 due to a hamstring injury. Thielen was activated from injured reserve during the Panthers' Week 11 bye and has been practicing in a limited capacity leading up to the game. With the Panthers trading away their No. 1 wideout Diontae Johnson and losing rookie receiver Jalen Coker to injury, Thielen is expected to take on a significant role in the team's passing attack.
- Adam Thielen's return could provide a much-needed boost to the Panthers' struggling passing game.
- Thielen's experience and previous chemistry with quarterback Bryce Young could be key for the team's offensive production.
