Bryce Young, who spent the week playing the role of Caleb Williams on the #Panthers scout team, is on the field for mop-up duty -- his first game action since he was benched three weeks ago.

Andy Dalton hasn't just given the panthers life. He's made them look like an real team the last 3 weeks

Yeah, he should totally have planned better for not having Derrick Brown and Shaq Thompson a month into the season. We can disagree, as long as we're serious. This is not a serious take.

And then Chuba Hubbard blows through a huge hole for a 38-yard touchdown. Dang. He got behind a pulling Austin Corbett, never touched.

Panthers force a three-and-out. Sack by Charles Harris. Good start for a defense that needs that kind of pressure. With a solid punt return by Blackshear, they take over at the 49.

Taylor Moton won't return because of the elbow injury. He had played 6,758 consecutive snaps entering this game. There are first-graders watching this game who have never experienced him not take a snap.

In warm ups, Eddy Pineiro missed a field goal going into the south end zone. Right before the half, Pineiro missed his 45-yard attempt. #Bears 27, #Panthers 7 to end the first half.

Diontae Johnson converts fourth down on an end around.

Xavier Legette said he expects to be ready next week.

The Cincinnati Bengals have been involved in lots of interesting NFL fines news early this season.

There was that massive fine thrown at wideout Ja’Marr Chase. And the NFL has already admitted its mistake with the Andrei Iosivas fine.

Bengals opponents, though, are getting fined too.

According to ESPN’s Ben Baby, Carolina Panthers safety Xavier Woods received a $11,255 fine letter for a late hit on Mike Gesicki during the Week 4 encounter between the teams.

Bengals fans will remember that one — Gesicki caught a quick-hitter from Joe Burrow, then went backward for roughly five yards before being tossed out of bounds

The Carolina Panthers deemed six players as inactive for this afternoon’s matchup against the Chicago Bears, including starting inside linebacker Josey Jewell.

Jewell, who was already ruled out of the contest on Friday’s injury report, is currently dealing with hamstring and groin issues. Through four games, the 29-year-old veteran has amassed 30 combined (second-most on the team) with three passes defensed and a fumble recovery.

Carolina’s defense is also without fellow starting inside ‘backer Shaq Thompson, who was officially placed on injured reserve yesterday. The longtime Panther will miss the remainder of the 2024 campaign after tearing his Achilles tendon in the Week 4 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals

The first sign of friction in the Bears’ 36-10 win over the Panthers on Sunday came midway through the third quarter when Bears quarterback Caleb Williams scrambled 10 yards on third-and-eight and took a hard shot out of bounds.Williams kept the drive alive by running up the right sideline and reached the Panthers 2-yard line when he leaped out of bounds to avoid getting hit by two defenders. As he sailed through the air, though, Panthers safety Nick Scott jumped from the goal line and drilled
