Panthers Rule Out WR DJ Chark Week 1 with a hamstring Injury
Panthers have ruled out WR DJ Chark for their week 1 matchup with the Atlanta Falcons with a hamstring injury. Adam Thielen will be listed as questionable with an ankle injury.
The #1 overall pick, Bryce Young, is set to debut this weekend without one of his top pass catchers. The Panthers are playing against division rival, the Atlanta Falcons. With Chark out, we expect to see Adam Thielen, fellow rookie Jonathon Mingo, and Tight End Hayden Hurst pick up the slack. Bryce Young played in three preseason games and went 14/24 for 129 yards and one touchdown. His favorite targets during the preseason were Thielen and Mingo. Thielen had seven targets and caught a touchdown. Mingo had five targets. The Falcons with be without one of their top cornerbacks, Jeff Okudah. Okudah has been ruled out with an ankle injury.
If you are in a pitch and need some production in week one I would strongly consider adding the veteran Adam Thielen or rookie Jonahon Mingo.
