Overview
- The Panthers announced Saturday that Xavier Legette has been placed on injured reserve after a knee injury sustained on a 55‑yard catch in the Week 2 win over Atlanta.
- Legette will miss a minimum of four weeks and did not play in Week 3, leaving a vacancy in the receiver rotation the team must fill.
- Carolina used standard practice‑squad elevations to add depth, promoting wide receiver Ja'seem Reed and cornerback Robert Rochell for the upcoming game.
- Legette has totaled 86 catches for 924 yards and seven touchdowns in 33 career games, and he has been pushed down the depth chart by Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker.
- The Panthers also cleared rookie right tackle Monroe Freeling to play, list Jalen Coker as questionable while they continue to evaluate him, and remain thin at cornerback with younger players moving into starting roles.
