Overview

  • McMillan is listed as questionable with a calf injury after missing Wednesday’s practice and logging limited sessions on Thursday and Friday.
  • Multiple outlets report he is expected to suit up in Week 4, including updates from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and ESPN’s David Newton and Jeremy Fowler.
  • Head coach Dave Canales said the team would evaluate McMillan on Saturday, with final confirmation to come when inactives are released 90 minutes before kickoff.
  • Carolina faces a shortage of pass catchers with Xavier Legette out, Jalen Coker on the PUP list, and tight end Ja’Tavion Sanders out, while RB Chuba Hubbard is also questionable.
  • The No. 8 pick leads the Panthers with roughly 14 receptions for about 216 yards through three games, and fantasy analysts recommend starting him if active while noting some re-injury risk.
