Jeremy Chinn Fantasy

Carolina Panthers safety Jeremy Chinn (quad) was placed on the injured reserve list on Tuesday. The move to IR was not a complete surprise after ESPN insider Adam Schefter said last week that Chinn would miss up to six weeks. The Panthers' safety first suffered the quad injury in the team's Week 6 loss and went into Carolina's Week 7 bye hurt. Chinn is first eligible to come off the IR in Week 12 against the Tennessee Titans. But it sounds like he might miss more than that.

Carolina Panthers safety Jeremy Chinn (quadriceps) suffered a significant quadriceps injury in the Week 6 loss to the Miami Dolphins that is expected to sideline him for up to six weeks, according to league sources. Chinn doesn't need surgery, but he's also in the last year of his contract in Carolina and is scheduled to be a free agent after this season. The 25-year-old second-year safety/nickel cornerback is a key defensive back for the Panthers, so his injury is a significant loss for Carolina's defense moving forward. Through the team's first six games, Chinn has 23 tackles (15 solo), one sack, two tackles for loss and one pass defensed.

Carolina Panthers safety Jeremy Chinn (hamstring) has been activated off the injured reserve. The 24-year-old is expected to be active for the first time since Week 4. His return is a huge boost for this defensive unit heading into a tough matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Before going down, Chinn had 20 tackles, one sack, and two passes defended in four games. The Panthers are hopeful to have both Chinn and defensive back Jaycee Horn (foot) available for this game. Despite that, fantasy managers shouldn't trust the Panthers defense as a streaming option.
