Adam Thielen Placed on Injured Reserve

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Adam Thielen has been placed on injured reserve with a hamstring injury sustained during a diving touchdown catch in the team's 36-22 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Thielen will miss at least four weeks, a significant loss for the Panthers' offense that had just started to show promise with Andy Dalton at quarterback. Thielen, who led the team with eight catches for 109 yards this season, will be replaced by Jonathan Mingo or Xavier Legette in the starting lineup. The Panthers have signed Jalen Coker from the practice squad to fill Thielen's roster spot and also made several other roster adjustments, including signing defensive backs Demani Richardson and Russ Yeast. This injury is a considerable setback for the Panthers as they prepare to face the Cincinnati Bengals.
