"Panthers WR DJ Chark doubtful, Bears game crucial in race for Caleb Williams"

Carolina Panthers wide receiver DJ Chark is doubtful to play in Thursday night's game against the Chicago Bears due to an elbow injury. The Panthers will also be without defensive starters Brian Burns and CJ Henderson, who suffered concussions in their previous game. Tight end Stephen Sullivan and wide receiver/running back Laviska Shenault have been ruled out with injuries as well. However, starting safeties Vonn Bell and Xavier Woods are listed as questionable. Replacing Burns, the team's sack leader, will be a challenge for the Panthers.
