Is Khalil Herbert playing tonight? Update on Bears RB's status vs Panthers for Week 10 TNF 

Khalil Herbert has been a rare positive in a disappointing season for the Chicago Bears, racking up 272 rushing yards in just 51 carries over the first five games. However, he has missed all the games after Week 5's Thursday Night Football with a high ankle sprain.

A return on TNF against one of the teams with the worst record in the league might be the perfect opportunity for a comeback. Check out his status for the game against the Carolina Panthers:

Khalil Herbert injury update

The running back has been listed on the injury report through all days of the week, but he has been a full participant during all practices and will play against the Carolina Panthers on Thursday.

Herbert hurt his ankle during the Week 5 win over the Washington Commanders, a game where the Chicago Bears got their first win of the season. During his absence, the backfield turned into a combination of D'Onta Foreman and Roschon Johnson.

Herbert has been estimated as a full participant for all Bears practices throughout the week. With the team playing a Thursday game, there are no regular practices – just walkthroughs.

The Chicago Bears don't have much to fight for, but there's one interesting caveat to this game: whatever the result, their draft position will "suffer". They currently hold the second and third overall picks, but the second overall pick originally belonged to the Carolina Panthers due to the Bryce Young trade back in March.

That way, the Bears can win this game and still remain on the hunt for Caleb Williams with the Panthers' original draft pick. Playing Khalil Herbert would give them a nice edge.

UPDATE: Khalil Herbert has been ruled out of Week 10 Thursday Night Football against the Bears.
