Poised to practice in Week 10 Panthers head coach Dave Canales said Monday that Legette (knee) will be designated for return from injured reserve this week, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Impact Carolina will likely wait until it holds its first Week 10 practice Wednesday before officially opening Legette's 21-day evaluation window. The third-year receiver hasn't played since Sept. 20 due to the knee injury, so he may need to turn in multiple full practices this week to put himself in a position to return from IR ahead of this Sunday's game against the Saints.

Could resume practicing in Week 8 Panthers head coach Dave Canales said Monday that Legette (knee) will "potentially" be designated for return from injured reserve this week, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Impact Canales noted that Legette still has some checkpoints he needs to hit in his recovery process before getting the green light to practice, but the third-year wideout appears to have at least progressed on some level since landing on IR on Oct. 3. Before getting hurt, Legette had served as the Panthers' No. 3 wideout during the first two weeks of the season and produced a 2-64-0 receiving line on six targets between those contests.

Panthers place wide receiver Xavier Legette on IR with knee injury

The Carolina Panthers have placed wide receiver Xavier Legette on injured reserve with a knee injury

OCTOBER 3 • Associated Press

Moved to injured reserve The Panthers placed Legette (knee) on injured reserve Saturday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Impact Legette has been working through a knee injury the last two weeks, and while he was slated to miss a second straight contest Sunday against the Lions, he'll now sit out at least the next four (including Week 4), meaning his next chance for game action is Sunday, Nov. 8 versus the Broncos. In Legette's continued absence, Carolina will continue to lean on Tetairoa McMillan, Jalen Coker (quadriceps), Brycen Tremayne, John Metchie and David Moore at wide receiver.

OCTOBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Week 4 Legette (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday night's game against the Lions, Alex Zietlow of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact Legette will miss a second straight game, and with Jalen Coker (quadriceps) listed questionable, the Panthers could be forced to dip even deeper into their wide receiver depth after Brycen Tremayne and John Metchie played heavy snaps in Week 3 against Cleveland.

OCTOBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Remains sidelined Thursday Legette (knee) remained a non-participant at Thursday's practice.

Impact Legette is considered week-to-week and is trending toward a second consecutive absence Sunday night against the Lions. He'll likely have to practice in some capacity Friday to avoid being ruled out on Friday's injury report. Brycen Tremayne, John Metchie and David Moore are candidates for increased roles in a Panthers wide receiver room that may also be without Jalen Coker (quadriceps), who practiced in limited fashion Thursday after sitting out Wednesday's session.

Listed as DNP on Wednesday Legette (knee) did not practice Wednesday, Alex Zietlow of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact Coach Dave Canales labeled Legette as week-to-week headed into Sunday night's game against the Lions. With Jalen Coker (quad) also dinged up, the Panthers could again be looking at giving Brycen Tremayne and John Metchie considerable playing time alongside Tetairoa McMillan in Detroit. Legette has a 2-64-0 receiving line on six targets across two games this season.

SEPTEMBER 27 • CATCRAVE.COM

Inactive in Week 3 Legette (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game at Cleveland, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Legette popped up on the Panthers' practice report Thursday as a non-participant due to a knee injury, which he followed up with a limited session Friday before being tagged as questionable to play Sunday. Mike Kaye of ESPN.com reported that Legette was expected to be a game-time decision, and Carolina has determined that a week off is prudent for the wide receiver. In Legette's absence, Brycen Tremayne, John Metchie and David Moore will be the tertiary options at the position behind Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker (ankle).

SEPTEMBER 25 • Associated Press

Considered game-time call Legette (knee) is listed as questionable and considered a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup with Cleveland, Mike Kaye of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The Panthers added Legette to their injury report Thursday as a non-participant before upgrading him to limited Friday. He had a 55-yard grab in last week's blowout win over Atlanta, but Legette has been targeted on just 12 percent of his routes this season, while teammates Jalen Coker and Tetairoa McMillan both have target rates above 25 percent. If Legette is deemed inactive before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, Brycen Tremayne and John Metchie will be the favorites to take on more snaps at wide receiver.
