The Carolina Panthers have formally activated Keith Kirkwood for the first time, but can the wide receiver make an instant impact against the Chicago Bears?

It has been a long road to this moment for Keith Kirkwood. The wide receiver has endured a frustrating start to life with the Carolina Panthers but has now formally been activated to the 53-man roster in time for their Week 6 game against the Chicago Bears at Bank of America Stadium.

Kirkwood came into the organization at the start of training camp and has worked with offensive coordinator Joe Brady and quarterback Teddy Bridgewater before during their time together with the New Orleans Saints.
