He did get control, which is the first part of the catch process. He did get a knee in bounds and as he is going to the ground, the third act would be surviving the ground.</p><p>“As he goes to the ground and turns over, there was no shot showing that he maintained possession throughout completing the process of the catch. As he is rolling over, you can see at least one hand come off the ball. So with an on-field ruling of incomplete, we would have to show that he had control to award him a touchdown.”</p><p>Per Butterworth’s explanation, had the ruling on the field been a touchdown, Thielen’s catch likely would have counted. Instead, the Panthers were forced to kick a field goal and take a three-point lead into halftime.</p><h2><b>Panthers lose second straight three-point game</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Adam-Thielen.jpg"><figcaption>Bob Donnan-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>After beginning the year with such uncertainty, Carolina has now lost two straight games but has to be pleased with what they have accomplished. During the second half of the season, the Panthers have seemingly turned their season around and are 2-2 in their last four games after a rough 1-7 start. Despite the consecutive defeats, the Panthers have now lost to two of the premier teams in the league by just a combined six points.</p><p>In his second stint at quarterback, Bryce Young has gone 2-3 in his last five starts. The former No. 1 overall pick appeared to be doomed after he was <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-bryce-young-breaks-silence-on-benching-for-andy-dalton">benched for veteran Andy Dalton</a> earlier in the year, but he has since taken the best form of his young career.</p><p>Although there are no moral victories in the NFL, it is hard for Dave Canales and the Panthers to not be encouraged by what the team has produced since their bye week. However, with five games remaining in 2024, the team’s schedule will not get any easier. Only one of Carolina’s final five opponents has a losing record after Week 13.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Brooks has not played since tearing his ACL in his final season at Texas while Thielen has been on injured reserve since suffering a hamstring injury in Week 3.</p><p>With Brooks expected to return, Canales also noted that Miles Sanders is likely to miss the game. Sanders took just two carries in the team’s Week 10 win over the New York Giants before being <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-miles-sanders-carted-off-ankle-injury-giants">carted off with a foot injury</a>.

On top of his risk of re-injury in a 3-7 season, Carolina has no reason to rush Brooks back into action with <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-chuba-hubbard-reacts-getting-game-ball-after-career-best-performance">Chuba Hubbard having a career year</a>.</p><p>Since taking over the starting role in the Carolina backfield, Hubbard has inarguably been the team’s best offensive weapon. The 25-year-old is coming off a career-high 153 rushing yards against the Giants one week after posting a two-touchdown game against the New Orleans Saints in Week 9.

Thielen, who missed the last seven games due to a hamstring injury sustained during the Panthers’ Week 3 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, now rejoins the active roster as the team heads into its bye week.</p><p>Thielen, 34, was a key contributor in the Panthers’ early-season offense, recording eight receptions for 109 yards and a touchdown across the season’s first three games. His touchdown in Week 3 against the Raiders came just before he was sidelined, temporarily halting his productive start with the team.</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-dave-canales-reaction-career-game-chuba-hubbard-extension">Panthers are 3-7 following back-to-back wins</a>, including a 20-17 victory over the New York Giants in Germany. Thielen’s return to the lineup provides a significant boost as Carolina’s offense has shown recent signs of improvement, with rookie quarterback Bryce Young finding his footing under center. The team is now preparing for a crucial stretch, looking to capitalize on its improving health status.</p><h2><b>Panthers activate Adam Thielen, release Jordan Matthews</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Adam-Thielen-19-walks-off-after-a-win-against-the-New-Orleans-Saints.jpg"><figcaption>© Scott Kinser-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>In another roster move, the Panthers released tight end Jordan Matthews, who joined the team earlier this season. Matthews’ departure opens a spot on the depth chart, potentially allowing for added flexibility as Carolina continues to integrate Thielen and other returning players.</p><p>Carolina’s injury recovery extends beyond Thielen. Rookie running back <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-carolina-set-to-activate-promising-rookie-weapon">Jonathon Brooks, who has yet to make his NFL debut</a>, may also be available when the Panthers return to action in Week 12 against the Kansas City Chiefs. This potential influx of offensive talent provides a timely boost for the Panthers as they aim to carry their recent momentum into the latter half of the season.</p><p>With Thielen back on the roster, the Panthers look poised to strengthen their receiving corps, adding a veteran presence for Young as they navigate a challenging schedule ahead.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The news comes during a very frustrating year for Carolina under first-year head coach Dave Canales. Plagued by a ton of <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-bryce-young-qb1-status-update-trade-deadline">quarterback uncertainty between starter Bryce Young</a> and backup Andy Dalton, the Panthers now sit toward the bottom of the NFC again.</p><p>And the recent update on the Carolina star wideout doesn’t make things any better. According to Panthers reporter for The Athletic Joe Person, Adam Thielen <a href="https://x.com/josephperson/status/1854918865488158979" rel="noopener">will miss Sunday’s game</a> against the Giants. This is concerning news that puts the wideout’s season at risk for a very specific reason.</p><h2>Adam Thielen’s season is likely coming to an end</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Panthers-wide-receiver-Adam-Thielen.jpg"><figcaption>Gregory Fisher-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>While <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-carolina-adam-thielen-ir-move-hamstring-injuries" rel="noopener">Thielen has been recuperating from a hamstring injury</a> since September 22, the wideout is on a strict timeline to return to the field, or else he will be forced to sit out the season. This is because, on October 23, the Panthers <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-carolina-crucial-adam-thielen-move-broncos-clash">activated Thielen off Injured Reserve</a> and into the 21-day practice window.</p><p>Unfortunately, the veteran WR hasn’t returned to action since being activated. With the 21-day practice window closing, if Thielen doesn’t play within that timespan, he will be out for the season. Sunday’s game in Munich is his last chance to fulfill that obligation.</p><p>Presumably, losing Thielen for 2024 is a huge blow to the Panthers’ chances of salvaging this season. The former All-Pro wideout had his third 1,000+ yard season last year with the Panthers and was seen as a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-diontae-johnson-defends-bryce-young-after-blowout-loss-chargers">crucial part of boosting Bryce Young’s confidence</a> in his second year.</p><p>Even though the embattled young quarterback is once again Carolina’s QB1, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/panthers-news-why-carloina-isnt-committing-to-bryce-young-as-qb1-after-not-trading-him">Dave Canales and the Panthers are not committing to anyone</a> at the position going forward. This is concerning because Carolina’s schedule is about to get a lot more difficult.</p><p>After their trip to Munich, the rest of the Panthers’s schedule comes against teams with playoff aspirations. And, in many cases, those teams have even more aspirations than that. Carolina will face the Kansas City Chiefs, Tampa Buccaneers twice, Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys, Arizona Cardinals, and Atlanta Falcons to close out the year.</p><p>Outside of the Giants’ game this Sunday, in which the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/giants-vs-panthers-predictions-pick-odds-spread-for-nfl-week-10-2024">Panthers are still underdogs</a>, there’s a chance the franchise could have the worst record in the NFL for the second straight year. That would be a major disappointment for a team that is <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/carolina-panthers-bold-predictions-for-2024-nfl-season">better than last year’s Carolina roster</a>.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
