Panthers Rule Jalen Coker Out for Week 6 vs. Cowboys
A quadriceps injury delays his post-IR return with the earliest opportunity now Week 7 against the Jets.
Overview
- ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Jalen Coker will not play in Week 6 due to a quadriceps injury.
- Carolina designated Coker to return earlier this week and he practiced fully on Wednesday and Thursday.
- He was placed on injured reserve after August roster cuts and has missed the first four games.
- With Coker sidelined, the Panthers plan to lean on Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette, and Hunter Renfrow in three-wide sets.
- McMillan leads the receiving corps with 24 catches for 351 yards this season, though he has yet to score.
