Chicago Bears receiver Brandon Marshall has said that he is feeling more explosive as he prepares to feature in Sunday's clash with the Carolina Panthers.

Week five has been the first week of the season that Marshall has not been listed as questionable or experienced fuss with his ankle.

"It feels good to go out there and be back with the guys," said Marshall said, according to the team's official website.

"After a while you kind of get out of shape a little bit and I feel like I got my wind back and feel more explosive, so it's good. I can get in and out of my breaks, so it'll be hard for guys to sit on me."

The Bears have won two and lost two encounters after four games this NFL season.
