Panthers Week 16 injury report: WR Xavier Legette out vs. Cardinals

As expected, the Panthers will be without 2024 first-round pick Xavier Legette in Week 16.

As expected, the Carolina Panthers will not have their 2024 first-round pick on the field against the Arizona Cardinals.

Wide receiver Xavier Legette has been ruled out for the team’s Week 16 outing due to a hip injury. The rookie did not participate in practice throughout the week after making an early exit from last Sunday’s loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

Fellow rookie pass catcher Jalen Coker, who was limited on Thursday and Friday with a lingering quadriceps issue, has been listed as questionable. He led the Panthers with a career-high 110 receiving yards in Week 15.

Left tackle Ikem Ekwonu and right guard Robert Hunt are also questionable due to illnesses.

Panthers WR Jalen Coker pops up on injury report as limited for Thursday’s practice

Panthers rookie WR Jalen Coker has joined the team’s Week 16 injury report.

Carolina Panthers wideout Jalen Coker has joined an already-crowded Week 16 injury report.

The rookie receiver was considered a limited participant for Thursday’s practice ahead of this weekend’s matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Coker was listed with a quadriceps injury, which sidelined him for the three games prior to his Week 15 return.

That outing, which ended in a 30-14 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, saw the 23-year-old go for a career-high 110 receiving yards. Coker’s 83-yard touchdown before the half was the longest play of the 2024 season for the Carolina offense.

In addition, rookie wideout Xavier Legette missed his second straight session with a hip injury.

Starting right guard Robert Hunt was also out with an illness.

Chuba Hubbard, Adam Thielen among 10 Panthers held out from Wednesday’s practice

10 Panthers were listed as non-participants for Wednesday’s practice.

The Carolina Panthers—who may be dealing with a bug, according to head coach Dave Canales—pretty much took a collective rest/sick day this afternoon.

10 players were held out from Wednesday’s practice, six of which were listed with rest designations. The bunch includes running back Chuba Hubbard, wide receiver Adam Thielen, linebacker Josey Jewell and cornerback Jaycee Horn.

Rookie wideout Xavier Legette, who seems unlikely to suit up this weekend against the Arizona Cardinals, also did not participate due to a hip injury. Legette made an early exit from the Week 15 loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

Panthers Week 15 injury report: Jadeveon Clowney, Jaycee Horn questionable vs. Cowboys

The Panthers will not have rookie LB Trevin Wallace for Sunday’s tilt against the Cowboys. OLB Jadeveon Clowney and CB Jaycee Horn are questionable.

The Carolina Panthers will be a tad lighter in the middle of their defense in Week 15.

Inside linebacker Trevin Wallace has been ruled out from Sunday’s matchup against the Dallas Cowboys due to a shoulder injury. The rookie has been listed as a non-participant in practice throughout the week.

Wallace has recorded 64 combined tackles, 1.0 sack and two forced fumbles over 13 games. Per head coach Dave Canales, Claudin Cherelus will start in Wallace’s place.

Cornerback Jaycee Horn, who is down as questionable, was limited for a third straight outing because of a groin issue. Canales says he’s hopeful that Horn will play.

Carolina’s defense could, however, have outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney—who missed last week’s near-upset of the Philadelphia Eagles due to his knee injury. He is officially questionable for the contest after two full sessions.

Here’s the full injury report as we hit the weekend:

Panthers WR Jalen Coker practices in full for second straight session on Thursday

Panthers rookie WR Jalen Coker appears to be on track to make his return in Week 15.

Carolina Panthers wideout Jalen Coker seems to be getting closer to making his return.

The rookie receiver, for the second consecutive session, was listed as a full participant for practice. Coker, who has recorded 17 catches for 263 yards and a touchdown this season, missed the last three games due to a quadriceps issue.

He was not joined, however, by fellow rookie Trevin Wallace. The linebacker, like on Wednesday, was a non-participant this afternoon because of a shoulder injury.

Here’s the full injury report from Thursday:

Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard among 5 DNPs at Wednesday’s practice

The Panthers held out RB Chuba Hubbard from a rainy practice on Wednesday.

The Carolina Panthers just lost one of their premier rushers to a season-ending injury, so they’re seemingly practicing some caution with the other.

Running back Chuba Hubbard was down as one of five non-participants for practice on a wet and rainy Wednesday. Hubbard, who eclipsed the 1,000-yard rushing mark for the first time in his NFL career this past Sunday, was listed with a “rest” designation.

Joining Hubbard as a DNP was fellow back and primary kick returner Raheem Blackshear, who left the Week 14 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles due to a chest injury. The Panthers, in what appears to be an insurance measure, added a couple of return specialists in Velus Jones Jr. and Trenton Irwin on Tuesday.

Here’s the full injury report from the day:

Panthers Week 13 injury report: 2 pass catchers ruled out vs. Buccaneers

The Panthers, as expected, will be without a pair of rookie pass catchers in Week 13.

As expected, the Carolina Panthers will not have a couple of standout rookies for Week 13.

The team announced on Friday that wide receiver Jalen Coker and tight end Ja’Tavion Sanders are out for Sunday’s matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Coker injured his quadriceps ahead of last week’s loss to the Kansas City Chiefs while Sanders (neck) exited the game after landing on his head at the end of a 10-yard reception.

Today’s injury report also listed outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney, who returned to practice in a limited capacity this afternoon, as questionable. Clowney leads the Panthers with 27 pressures.

Here’s the full report heading into the weekend:

Panthers OLB Jadeveon Clowney, 3 others out from Thursday’s practice

Panthers OLB Jadeveon Clowney remained a non-participant on the Week 13 injury report.

For the second straight day, the Carolina Panthers have listed outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney as a non-participant in practice.

The 11th-year veteran was held out of Thursday’s session due to a knee injury. Clowney, who is in his first season with the Panthers, has recorded 30 combined tackles, 2.5 sacks, five quarterback hits and a team-high 27 pressures through nine games in 2024.

Also out were wide receiver Jalen Coker (quadriceps) and tight end Ja’Tavion Sanders (neck). Head coach Dave Canales told reporters on Wednesday that he does not expect the rookie pass catchers to be ready for Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Panthers hold out 7 players from practice on Wednesday

Panthers rookie WR Jalen Coker, who sat out from the team’s Week 12 loss to the Chiefs, missed practice to start Week 13.

The Carolina Panthers remained without one of their most exciting playmakers on Wednesday.

After he was down as inactive for the team’s Week 12 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, wideout Jalen Coker did not participate in this afternoon’s practice due to his quadriceps injury. Head coach Dave Canales told reporters that he does not expect the rookie to play in this Sunday’s matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Joining Coker was fellow rookie and tight end Ja’Tavion Sanders. Sanders was carted off from Sunday’s game after injuring his neck.

Canales confirmed on Monday that the 21-year-old escaped a “pretty bad” injury, one that saw him land on the top of his head. He, per Canales, is also expected to sit this weekend.

Here’s the full injury report on the day:

Injury Wednesday Thursday Friday Game status
WR Jalen Coker Quadriceps DNP

Panthers Week 12 injury report: WR Adam Thielen expected to play vs. Chiefs

Panthers WR Adam Thielen is expected to make his return in Week 12.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young should have his safety net back here in Week 12.

According to head coach Dave Canales, wide receiver Adam Thielen (questionable) is expected to play in this Sunday’s matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. The 11th-year veteran, who has missed the last seven games due to a hamstring injury, led the team in receptions (103) and receiving yards (1,014) in 2023.

Canales and crew are also expecting rookie running back Jonathon Brooks (questionable) to make his NFL debut in the contest. Brooks, Carolina’s second-round selection from the 2024 draft, tore his ACL last November.

Kicker Eddy Piñeiro (questionable), per Canales, will suit up as well. Canales told reporters that Piñeiro tweaked his knee while celebrating his walk-off kick against the New York Giants in Week 10.

Here’s the week’s final injury report in its entirety:
