Panthers' Trevin Wallace: Slated to start versus Chicago

Wallace is expected to start at linebacker on Sunday against the Bears, Darin Gantt on the Panthers' official website reports.

With Josey Jewell (hamstring) inactive and Shaq Thompson (Achilles) on injured reserve, Wallace will slide into a starting job in the middle of the Carolina defense. Wallace was a third-round pick in this year's NFL Draft and has played just 36 defensive snaps through four contests.
