Panthers get punt return TD from former Bear Ihmir Smith-Marsette

Ihmir Smith-Marsette spent a little time — about six weeks — with the Chicago Bears in 2022.

He showed them what they lost on Thursday night as a Carolina Panther.

Smith-Marsette collected a punt at the Carolina 21-yard line and returned it up the middle through the Bears’ special teamers.

The final move was put on Chicago punter Trenton Gill, who was no match for the Panthers’ punt returner.

After the 79-yard punt return and PAT, Carolina led the homestanding Bears, 7-0.
