DJ Chark Jr. Doubtful, Laviska Shenault Jr. Out For Week 10

one year ago

Carolina Panthers wide receiver DJ Chark Jr. (elbow) is being listed as doubtful for the Thursday night game against the Chicago Bears, while wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out again. Chark was questionable to play in Week 9 with his elbow injury but managed to suit up and catch a touchdown in the loss to the Indianapolis Colts. However, on a short week, the 27-year-old is most likely going to sit Thursday night's game out against Chicago. It means that rookie Jonathan Mingo will be the No. 2 wideout for Carolina behind target hog Adam Thielen, while Terrace Marshall Jr. should also have an expanded role. Still, it's hard to trust any Panthers pass-catcher beyond Thielen this year given the inconsistent nature of this offense that's led by rookie quarterback Bryce Young.
