Set for offseason wrist surgery Legette said Thursday that he plans to undergo surgery in the offseason to address ligament damage to his wrist, Alex Zietlow of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Impact Legette first injured the wrist during his third season of college at South Carolina in 2021 and suffered an aggravation in the Week 9 win over the Saints, but it hasn't resulted in him being limited over the Panthers' ensuing four games. He's not included on the Panthers' Week 15 injury report and should continue to play through the issue over the final four games of the season with no noticeable effects.

Struggles with drops in Week 14 Legette caught two of eight targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 22-16 loss to the Eagles.
Impact The rookie wideout had trouble hanging onto the ball all day, but Legette's biggest drop came in the fourth quarter when he couldn't haul in what might have been a game-winning 32-yard touchdown in the final minute of the fourth quarter. Legette has still caught multiple passes in eight straight games, posting a 26-281-3 line on 46 targets over that stretch. He'll try to put his volume to better use in Week 15 against the Cowboys.

Gaining momentum Legette caught four of his eight targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to the Buccaneers.
Impact The 2024 first-round pick from South Carolina posted his third game of the season with 50-plus receiving yards in Week 13, including his second in just as many weeks. His 53 yards ranked third among Panthers receiving threats in Sunday's loss, trailing Adam Thielen (99 yards) and Tommy Tremble (77 yards). Legette's role in the Panthers' offense appears to be growing as the season progresses, with six or more targets in four of the last five games. The 23-year-old has now tallied 393 receiving yards and four touchdowns on 37 receptions in his first 12 NFL games. He's expected to continue improving as the Panthers travel to Philadelphia in Week 14.

Four catches in close loss Legette caught four of his six targets for 56 yards during Sunday's 30-27 loss versus the Chiefs.
Impact Despite pacing Carolina's wide receivers in snaps in Week 12, Legette's six targets lagged behind teammate David Moore (10). His struggles reeling in targets also continued, as he dropped a well-placed deep ball from Bryce Young late in the fourth quarter. The Panthers will host a poor Buccaneers defense in Week 13.

Three grabs in Germany win Legette secured three of four targets for 40 yards in the Panthers' 20-17 overtime win over the Giants in Munich on Sunday.
Impact Legette tied Jalen Coker for the team lead in receptions while falling just a yard short of his teammate's team-high figure in that category. Legette has been busy during Bryce Young's current three-game starting stint -- the wideout now sports an 11-117-2 line in that span -- and he should continue enjoying a steady role during a Week 12 home matchup against the Chiefs on Sunday, Nov. 24 following a Week 11 bye, even if Adam Thielen (IR, hamstring) returns for that contest.

Key role in close win Legette brought in four of six targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in the Panthers' 23-22 win over the Saints on Sunday. He also rushed once for six yards.
Impact Legette shared the team lead in receptions with Ja'Tavion Sanders and set the pace in targets as well, and the rookie recorded two particularly critical catches. Legette tallied his fourth touchdown of his career on a three-yard grab early in the second quarter to give Carolina its first points of the day, and he also came down with a 26-yard catch over the middle on third-and-10 during the Panthers' game-winning drive. Legette has an 8-67-2 line on 13 targets over the last two games while working with Bryce Young, so he'll head into a Week 10 matchup against the Giants in Germany trending in the right direction.
