Some great news for the Carolina Panthers as offensive lineman Robert Hunt (hip) is active and will start in today's game against the Chicago Bears.

Last week, the Panthers were without starting left guard Damien Lewis, but Chandler Zavala filled in and played pretty well. Hunt played through the hip injury last week although he did favor it a few times after the play. This will give Carolina its full compliment of linemen in a game where they're going to need the ground game to be effective. Chicago's defense ranks eighth in the league against the pass, allowing only 174.5 yards per game.

Linebacker Josey Jewell is the only notable name that won't be in uniform for the Panthers this afternoon in the Windy City.

Moments ago, both teams released their list of inactives for this afternoon's game.
