Overview

• Legette has four receptions for eight yards on 15 targets through two games, including one catch for minus-2 yards on eight targets in Week 2.
• After hamstring soreness limited him Wednesday, he practiced Thursday on a limited basis and is expected to suit up for Sunday’s home opener, according to Canales.
• Canales says he takes Legette’s start personally and has not considered benching him, emphasizing better play design and coaching to help him succeed.
• Bryce Young and rookie Tetairoa McMillan publicly expressed confidence in Legette, and franchise great Steve Smith pushed back on fan criticism.
• Cam Newton offered tough-love advice for Legette to refocus on fundamentals, as McMillan’s early production (11 catches for 168 yards) heightens competition for targets.
