Overview
- Carolina has opened 21-day practice windows for cornerback Mike Jackson, running back Jonathon Brooks, and wide receiver Xavier Legette, a development reported by Mike Kaye for ClutchPoints.
- Under NFL rules a 21-day practice window allows each player to practice with the team and be activated once during that span or otherwise remain on injured reserve.
- If activated, Mike Jackson would provide experienced depth to a Panthers secondary that has been hit hard by injuries.
- Jonathon Brooks and Xavier Legette would add options to the offense by giving Chuba Hubbard help in the backfield and Bryce Young another receiving target.
- The evaluations come just before a divisional matchup with the New Orleans Saints and could have an immediate effect on Carolina’s standing in a tightly bunched NFC South.
