Xavier Legette - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Big day in OT win Legette (hip) caught four of eight targets for 83 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-27 overtime win over the Falcons.

Impact According to Joe Person of The Athletic, Legette sustained a hip injury on the Panthers' final drive of the fourth quarter and didn't play in the overtime period. However, he still finished as Carolina's second-leading receiver, highlighted by a 36-yard touchdown from Bryce Young in the third quarter that pulled the Panthers within one score. The second-year pro remains an integral part of Carolina's offense, catching 24 of 46 targets for 264 yards and three touchdowns across nine appearances this season. The extent of Legette's hip injury remains unclear, but if he's able to suit up in Week 12, he'll draw a favorable matchup against the 49ers.

Blanks in Week 10 Legette was targeted just once and didn't record a reception in Sunday's 17-7 loss to the Saints.

Impact The second-year wideout from South Carolina went without a catch for the first time this season in the Week 10 loss. He was overshadowed by Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker, who led Carolina's wide receivers with 60 and 21 yards, respectively. Since Legette's breakout performance in the Week 7 win over the Jets (9-92-1), he's caught just three of seven targets for 39 yards over the past three games. With the Panthers' passing attack continuing to struggle, Legette likely won't carry much fantasy value in the Week 11 matchup against the Falcons.

Logs 22 yards in Week 9 Legette caught one of three targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Packers.

Impact Legette was evaluated for a possible concussion after taking a hit to the head in the second quarter, but he later returned and finished with 31 offensive snaps. Since posting a 9-92-1 receiving line against the Jets in Week 7, the second-year wideout has been quiet, recording just three catches for 39 yards over Carolina's last two contests. However, his lack of production in Week 9 can likely be attributed to the poor weather conditions and quarterback Bryce Young throwing for just 102 yards. Legette will look to bounce back heading into the Week 10 divisional matchup against the Saints.

NOVEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Back in Sunday's game Legette (head) was cleared to return to Sunday's game in Green Bay, Kassidy Hill of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Legette was checked for a concussion after taking a hit to the helmet at the end of a 22-yard catch in the second quarter that left him shaken up. He'll be looking to build upon the aforementioned reception for the rest of Week 9 action.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Getting concussion check Legette is being evaluated for a concussion during Sunday's game at Green Bay, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact At the end of a 22-yard connection with QB Bryce Young in the second quarter, Legette endured a hit to the helmet and was clearly shaken up. If he's diagnosed with a concussion, Legette will be out for the rest of Week 9 and subject to clearance from an independent neurologist for his next game action.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to play Legette (illness) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Green Bay.

Impact Legette returned to full participation Friday after missing practice Thursday. He should be ready for his usual starting role come Sunday, but production has been in short supply apart from a 9-92-1 outburst in Week 7 against the Jets.

OCTOBER 31 • ROTOWIRE

Misses practice with illness Legette sat out Thursday's practice due to an illness.

Impact Legette didn't appear on the Panthers' initial injury report that was released Wednesday, so the illness is likely something that cropped up Wednesday night or Thursday morning. So long as Legette is able to get back on the practice field in some capacity Friday, he should have a good chance at gaining clearance to suit up this Sunday at Green Bay.

Quiet with two receptions in loss Legette brought in two of three targets for 17 yards in the Panthers' 40-9 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

Impact One week after posting a career-best 9-92-1 line against the Jets, Legette saw a significant downturn in the lopsided loss. The second-year wideout's Week 7 breakout is more or less an outlier, considering Legette has topped out at three receptions and 31 receiving yards otherwise in terms of single-game highs. Legette will take a middling 19-159-2 receiving line on 34 targets over six games into a Week 9 road trip to Green Bay.

Career day in win Legette caught nine of 11 targets for 92 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Jets.

Impact The 2024 first-round pick had the best game of his pro career in the Week 7 win, setting personal highs in both receptions (nine) and receiving yards (92). He led the Panthers' receiving corps in catches, yards and touchdowns, while Tetairoa McMillan, Jimmy Horn and Jalen Coker combined for just four catches for 41 yards on nine targets. Legette has now hauled in 17 of 31 targets for 142 yards and two touchdowns across five appearances this season. He's expected to continue operating as the Panthers' No. 2 wideout and primary deep threat heading into the Week 8 matchup against the Bills.
