The Panthers will not have one of their key rookies when they play the Cardinals on Sunday.
The Panthers will not have one of their key rookies when they play the Cardinals on Sunday.
This was expected after head coach Dave Canales told reporters on Monday Legette was likely to miss Week 16. The first-round rookie did not practice this week and may be forced to miss Week 17 as well. He can be cut in all redraft formats. Fellow wide receivers Jalen Coker and David Moore are listed as questionable. Expect plenty of targets for Adam Thielen this week.
Moore was limited for the first two practices fo the week because of the concussion. He was upgraded to a full session on Friday, meaning he should be cleared over the weekend. With Xavier Legette ruled out and Jalen Coker listed as questionable, Moore could be the team's No. 2 receiver this week. If that's the case, Moore would creep into the WR4 ranks versus Arizona.
Panthers WR Xavier Legette (hip) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Cardinals. WRs Jalen Coker (quad) and David Moore (concussion) are listed as questionable. Coker was added to the injury report on Thursday but was able to get in a limited practice on Friday. Moore practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday. We're tentatively expecting both guys to play but will look for further updates and get Carolina's inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday.
