Xavier Legette - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

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.

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).

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.

DNP due to knee Thursday Legette (knee) was listed as a non-participant at Thursday's practice.

Impact Legette popped up on the injury report Thursday after practicing without limitations Wednesday. The 2024 first-round pick scored a 55-yard touchdown as part of a two-catch Week 2 performance against the Falcons after being held without a reception by the Bears in Week 1. Carolina is banged up at wide receiver behind Tetairoa McMillan, as Jalen Coker (ankle) was also sidelined Thursday.

Hauls in 55-yard pass in Week 2 win Legette caught two passes on four targets for 64 yards during the Panthers' 34-3 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Impact Legette was held without a catch in a Week 1 loss to the Bears, when he saw only two targets from Bryce Young. Legette's targets in Week 2 doubled, and he split the Falcons' secondary to connect on a deep ball from Young for 55 yards late in the second quarter, which led to a seven-yard touchdown catch by Darren Waller three plays later. That 55-yard catch was the longest of Legette's three-year NFL career and his first reception of 40-plus yards. He'll operate as the Panthers' WR3 behind Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker heading into a Week 3 road tilt against the Browns on Sept. 27.

Quiet outing Week 1 Legette failed to haul in either of his targets and returned two kickoffs for 51 yards during Carolina's loss to the Bears on Sunday.

Impact Legette had a quiet outing despite playing 36 of the team's 68 snaps. The 2024 first-round pick will look to be more involved offensively during next week's game against the Falcons but will most likely continue to see the majority of his production come on special teams unless either Tetairoa McMillan or Jalen Coker is forced to miss time.

Past ankle injury Legette (ankle) is not listed on the Panthers' injury report Wednesday.

Impact Legette dealt with an ankle injury last month and was in a walking boot a little over two weeks ago, but he's past the issue and ready to go for the Panthers' season opener against Chicago on Sunday. Legette is expected to open the season as the WR3 behind Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker. Expect the Panthers to use plenty of multiple-tight-end sets after adding Darren Waller, so that could limit Legette's playing time.
