Panthers' Adam Thielen Placed on IR with Hamstring Injury

The veteran wide receiver will miss at least four weeks after a diving touchdown catch in Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Adam Thielen sustained a hamstring injury during a 31-yard touchdown catch in the Panthers' 36-22 win over the Las Vegas Raiders.
The injury will sideline Thielen for a minimum of four weeks as he recovers on injured reserve.
Thielen has recorded eight catches for 109 yards and one touchdown in the first three games of the season.
Rookies Xavier Legette and Jonathan Mingo are expected to step up in Thielen's absence, with Jalen Coker promoted to the active roster.
The Panthers also made additional roster moves, including placing safety Jordan Fuller on injured reserve and signing defensive backs Demani Richardson and Russ Yeast.
