Gets downgraded Coker (foot) did not practice Thursday.

Impact Coker was a full participant Wednesday, suggesting he may have injured his foot in practice. A late-week downgrade isn't typically a good sign for a player's weekend availability, but the Holy Cross product will try and get back on the field Friday ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Bears.

Joining active roster The Panthers plan to sign Coker to their active roster Tuesday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact This move comes in response to the Panthers placing Adam Thielen (hamstring) on injured reserve, forcing him to miss at least the team's next four games. Coker was picked up by the Panthers as one of the top undrafted free agents this past offseason and has spent the first three weeks of the season on the team's practice squad. He's expected to serve as a depth piece in Carolina's wide receiver room until Thielen returns from injury.

Brought back by Carolina Coker signed with the Panthers' practice squad Thursday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Impact Coker fell victim to the Panthers' waiver claims, having made the team's initial 53-man roster before being waived Wednesday. However, he's returned to Carolina's practice squad and could very well be elevated to the team's active roster at some point this season.

Waived by Panthers The Panthers waived Coker on Wednesday, Alex Zietlow of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact Coker made the Panthers' initial 53-man roster, but he's now been dropped as a result of the team's waiver claims, per Zietlow. The Holy Cross product was one of the top undrafted free-agents from the 2024 draft class, so he could definitely find his way onto another practice squad or active roster heading into his rookie campaign.

Activated off PUP list The Panthers activated Coker (undisclosed) off the active/PUP list Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Impact Coker signed with Carolina as an undrafted free agent out of Holy Cross in April, and he led the FCS with 15 receiving touchdowns. Coker will be ready for the start of Panthers training camp Wednesday, and he'll compete for a spot on the end of the wide receiver depth chart.

Placed on PUP list The Panthers placed Coker (undisclosed) on the active/PUP list Friday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Impact Coker linked up with Carolina as an undrafted free agent back in April, and since then he appears to have picked up an injury during spring practices. Once healthy and ready to practice, Coker will be eligible to come off the PUP list at any time this summer. The reigning FCS leader in receiving touchdowns, Coker is competing for an end-of-roster role in Carolina's wide receiver room.
