Overview
- The Panthers have moved Xavier Legette from injured reserve to the active roster and listed him as questionable for Sunday’s Week 10 game, with reports indicating he is likely to play.
- Legette has not played since suffering a knee injury in the Week 2 win over Atlanta and has missed multiple games over the past two seasons because of injuries.
- Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker remain the top two receivers on Carolina’s depth chart, and Legette’s activation creates a crowded fight for the WR3 spot currently filled by John Metchie III and Brycen Tremayne.
- John Metchie III has 14 catches for 154 yards and a touchdown this season and Brycen Tremayne has seven catches for 126 yards, stats that helped the Panthers bridge Legette’s absence.
- The move follows recent roster changes including David Moore’s release and will leave coaching and medical staff to decide Legette’s snap share, with the Week 10 result determining who sits atop the NFC South at the end of the week.
