Panthers' Adam Thielen: Makes immediate impact upon return
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 a 13-yard reception on fourth down late in the fourth quarter to set up a game-tying touchdown. While the 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' Chuba Hubbard: Still lead back
Hubbard rushed the ball 16 times for 58 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Chiefs. He recorded one reception on five targets for two yards.
Hubbard was joined by Jonathon Brooks in the Carolina backfield for the first time this season, though it was hardly noticeable in the box score as he out-touched Brooks 17-2. The Chiefs' run defense has been among the best in the league throughout the campaign, so it's not particularly surprising that Hubbard struggled with his efficiency. However, he still managed a productive fantasy performance thanks to a one-yard plunge into the end zone and a subsequent two-point conversion with under two minutes remaining in the game. Brooks will likely become a bigger factor at some point late in the season, but Hubbard looks to have safe volume for the time being.

Panthers' Bryce Young: Solid showing against KC
Young completed 21 of 35 passes for 263 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Chiefs. He added three rushes for 20 yards.
The Panthers came away with only nine first-half points, but Young kept the offense moving in the first two quarters by completing 10 of 18 passes for 177 yards. He managed to break through for a touchdown on a one-yard pass to David Moore midway through the third quarter, and Young also managed four completions of at least 20 yards -- his highest mark in a game this season. The only shortcoming of his performance was a single touchdown pass, but this was almost certainly his best start of the campaign. His position as Carolina's starter in the short-term is also seemingly no longer in question, as coach Dave Canales said that Young will start in Week 13 against Tampa Bay, per David Newton of ESPN.com.

Panthers' Eddy Pineiro: Drills five kicks in Week 12
Pineiro converted on all four of his field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Chiefs.
Pineiro has now made 16 of his 17 field-goal tries on the season, with his lone miss occurring in the Week 5 loss to the Bears. The 29-year-old has also remained perfect on extra points through 12 weeks, converting on all 18 of his attempts. Pineiro's next opportunity to score for the Panthers will come in Week 13, when the Buccaneers visit Carolina.

Panthers' Jonathon Brooks: Just two carries in NFL debut
Brooks rushed twice for seven yards in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Chiefs.
The 2024 second-round pick from Texas made his NFL debut in Sunday's loss but didn't see much offensive work, playing behind the NFL's fifth-leading rusher, Chuba Hubbard. Brooks' longest rush was four yards in the fourth quarter, and he will likely continue to see limited offensive snaps given Hubbard's current level of production. However, the rookie running back's role could expand as he becomes more familiar with Carolina's offense over the course of the season. Expect Brooks to serve as the Panthers' No. 2 running back in a Week 13 matchup against the Buccaneers.

Panthers' Tommy Tremble: Quiet in loss
Tremble caught one of his two targets for five yards in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Chiefs.
Despite an increased workload in the second half of Sunday's loss after Ja'Tavion Sanders (neck) exited with an injury, Tremble didn't produce much offensively. The Notre Dame product has now appeared in six games this season, catching 10 of his 14 targets for 77 yards. He could continue to see an expanded offensive role if Sanders is sidelined for the Week 13 matchup against the Buccaneers.

Panthers' Deven Thompkins: Catches three passes vs. Chiefs
Thompkins caught all three of his targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Chiefs.
Thompkins had his best game of the season in Sunday's narrow loss, catching his first three passes of the year for 13 yards, which ranked fourth among Carolina's wide receivers. The Utah State product has appeared in just three games this season, also having recorded one carry for minus-2 yards. He's expected to continue serving as a depth piece in the Panthers' wide receiver room as the season progresses.

Panthers' Ja'Tavion Sanders: Discharged from hospital
Sanders, who left Sunday's game against the Chiefs due to a neck injury, has been released from the hospital, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Sanders had been transported to a local hospital Sunday after being carted off the field supported by a backboard. Per Newton, though the rookie tight end was subsequently discharged from the hospital, he still is being evaluated. The Panthers' next game is Dec. 1 against the Buccaneers.

Panthers' Ja'Tavion Sanders: Ruled out of Sunday's game
Sanders won't return to Sunday's contest against the Chiefs due to a neck injury, Alex Zietlow of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Sanders landed on his helmet at the end of a 10-yard catch and run late in the first half. Prior to getting carted off the field, he was placed on a backboard and had his neck stabilized, and the Panthers relayed that the rookie tight end was transported to a Charlotte-area hospital to be evaluated further. Sanders thus will end Week 12 with three catches on as many targets for 49 yards.

Panthers' Ja'Tavion Sanders: Leaves field on cart Sunday
Sanders (head/neck) was carted off the field during Sunday's game versus the Chiefs, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Sanders went head over heels at the end of a 10-yard catch and run when he took a low hit on the left sideline, with his helmet taking the brunt of the fall. He was placed on a backboard before needing a cart to go to the locker room. An official diagnosis isn't yet known, but Sanders had three catches (on three targets) for 49 yards when he departed just before halftime.

Panthers' Amare Barno: Still not on 53-man roster
Barno (knee) was downgraded to out for Sunday's matchup with the Chiefs, Alex Zietlow of The Charlotte Observer reports.
The linebacker was designated to return from the reserve/PUP list Monday, opening his 21-day practice window to practice with the team before either being added to the 53-man roster or staying on PUP for the rest of the season. Barno suffered an ACL injury late in the 2023 campaign and has been on the list since training camp started. The 2022 sixth-round pick played on 180 defensive snaps in 15 games last season, making 21 tackles (13 solo).

Panthers' DJ Johnson: Inactive for Week 12
Johnson (concussion) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Johnson was diagnosed with a concussion during the Panthers' Week 10 win over the Giants. He was able to practice all week -- including full sessions Wednesday and Friday -- but it appears the 2023 third-round pick was unable to clear the league's five-step concussion protocol in time for Sunday's game. Johnson's next opportunity to play will be Week 13 against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Dec. 1. Cam Gill, Charles Harris and Kenny Dyson will serve as the Panthers' rotational outside linebackers Sunday behind starters D.J. Wonnum and Jadeveon Clowney.

Panthers' Jadeveon Clowney: Suiting up Sunday
Clowney (knee) is active for Sunday's Week 12 contest against the Chiefs, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Clowney didn't participate in practice Wednesday, but he progressed to a limited session Thursday and a full session Friday, setting him up to play Sunday. The veteran pass rusher has tallied 27 tackles (14 solo), including 1.0 sacks, through eight games on the campaign. Clowney will try to put pressure on Patrick Mahomes on Sunday along with D.J. Wonnum, who is also active after coming into the weekend with a questionable tag.

Panthers' D.J. Wonnum: Good to go for Week 12
Wonnum (quadriceps) is active for Sunday's game against Kansas City, Darin Gantt of Carolina's official site reports.
Wonnum first appeared on the injury report when he logged a limited practice Thursday, but he was able to go through a full session Friday and will play Sunday. The fifth-year defender missed the first nine weeks of the campaign due to a quad injury, and the Panthers were on their bye in Week 11, so Sunday will mark Wonnum's second game of the campaign. In his first, which took place in Week 10 against the Giants, he tallied six tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and forced a fumble while playing 66 percent of Carolina's defensive snaps.

Panthers' Eddy Pineiro: Cleared to kick Sunday
Pineiro (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Carolina had listed Pineiro as questionable after he was limited in practice Thursday due to the left knee injury before sitting out Friday's session entirely, but the team's decision not to add another kicker to the roster before Saturday's deadline for Week 12 transactions suggested his availability was never in any real jeopardy. Though he's the most accurate kicker in NFL history with a career 89.4 percent success rate on field-goal attempts, Pineiro remains a low-end fantasy option while his scoring opportunities are limited due to being attached to a poor Carolina offense.
