Catches touchdown vs. Falcons Legette caught three of his four targets for 23 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 38-20 loss to the Falcons.

Impact Legette served as the Panthers' No. 2 wide receiver in the absence of Adam Thielen (hamstring) on Sunday and performed relatively well. Despite a favorable second-half game script which saw Carolina trailing by multiple scores, Legette was targeted just once in that time. The 2024 first-round pick has now recorded 16 receptions for 174 yards and two touchdowns across his first six games in Carolina, and he's expected to continue serving as the team's No. 2 wide receiver until Thielen returns from injury.

Logs full practice Wednesday Legette (shoulder) practiced fully Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Legette made an early departure from this past Sunday's loss in Chicago due to a shoulder injury, and he underwent tests on the AC joint in question early this week. Those tests must have turned up nothing to serious considering he was handled all on-field work Wednesday. The same can't be said for fellow wide receiver Diontae Johnson (ankle), who remained limited for a third straight practice going back to last week.

Practicing Wednesday Legette (shoulder) is present for the early portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Impact Legette was forced out of Carolina's loss to the Bears in Week 5 early due to a shoulder issue, but he's said he doesn't expect to miss time. The rookie first-round pick also underwent imaging tests Monday to diagnose a possible AC joint injury, but it sounds like Legette has been cleared of such an issue. Wednesday's official practice report will reveal how much activity Legette has managed to handle at practice.

Practicing Wednesday Legette (shoulder) is on the field for the media-access portion of Wednesday's practice, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Impact Legette was forced out of Carolina's loss to the Bears in Week 5 early due to a shoulder issue, but he's said he doesn't expect to miss time. The rookie first-round pick also underwent imaging Monday to test his AC joint, but Legette looks to have been cleared of anything significant. The Panthers' first official Week 6 practice report will be issued later Wednesday, when it will be known to what extent Legette participated.

Doesn't expect to miss time Legette (shoulder) said Monday he expects to suit up for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Falcons, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Legette is set to undergo imaging tests Monday to determine whether he sustained an AC joint injury while being forced out of Week 5's loss to the Bears, but the rookie first-round pick doesn't anticipate having to miss any time. Nonetheless, fantasy managers will want to monitor Legette's practice activity leading up to Week 6 action. If Legette is able to practice in at least a limited capacity Wednesday, it will bode well for his chances of suiting up versus Atlanta.

Getting AC joint tested Legette (shoulder) said Monday he is expected to undergo imaging tests on his AC Joint, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Impact Legette was forced out of Sunday's loss to the Bears with a shoulder injury, and it appears the Panthers are concerned about the possibility of an AC joint injury. The results of Monday's imaging tests will reveal more about the rookie first-round pick's expected recovery timetable, though it's possible Carolina won't offer an actionable update until Wednesday's first official injury report of Week 6. In the event that Legette isn't cleared to face the Falcons on Sunday, Oct. 13, Jalen Coker will get a chance to work alongside Diontae Johnson and Jonathan Mingo in three-wide sets.

Leaves with shoulder injury Legette exited Sunday's game against the Bears with a shoulder injury and is questionable to return, Sheena Quick of Fox Sports Radio 1340 reports.

Impact Coming off his big Week 4 against the Bengals, Legette was mostly a non-factor versus Chicago prior to leaving in the second half. The rookie saw just one target before exiting, catching it for a gain of eight yards. Diontae Johnson and Jonathan Mingo will work in two-wide sets while Legette is sidelined.

Catches first touchdown Sunday Legette caught six of his 10 targets for 66 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 34-24 loss to the Bengals.

Impact Legette had caught just six passes for 77 yards through his first three games in Carolina. However, the 2024 first-round pick saw more snaps with Adam Thielen (hamstring) missing Sunday's contest, and Legette took full advantage of his increased opportunities, posting a 6-66-1 receiving line. The combination of Carolina's struggling defense (allowing over 32 points per game) and Thielen missing at least the team's next three games makes Legette an intriguing fantasy option going forwards. He will continue playing behind Diontae Johnson but is still expected to be fantasy relevant, as Andy Dalton has supported two strong wide receiver performances each week he's served as the Panthers' top signal-caller.

Likely to benefit sans Thielen Legette is expected to notice a boost in snaps and targets in the weeks to come after the Panthers placed Adam Thielen (hamstring) on injured reserve Tuesday, Alex Zietlow of The C...

Impact Legette finished with two catches for 42 yards on targets while logging 44 of the Panthers' 74 offensive snaps in the Week 3 win over the Raiders, but his playing time really took off once Thielen exited the game in the second quarter due to injury. His snap share rose all the way to 76 percent in the second half, tops among all Carolina receivers. Though Diontae Johnson will be locked in as the clear No. 1 option in the passing attack while Thielen is out and could see his target share increase, a more proficient offense helmed by Andy Dalton could leave enough room for Legette to carve out enough weekly volume to emerge as a usable option in deeper fantasy leagues.

Two catches against Raiders Legette recorded two catches on three targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 36-22 win over the Raiders.

Impact Legette wasn't targeted in Week 2, so this performance was a step in the right direction. However, it was less impressive in the context of the rest of the offense, as Diontae Johnson racked up 122 yards while Adam Thielen (hamstring) caught a long touchdown before exiting. The Carolina offense looks significantly improved with Andy Dalton under center, which should continue to give Legette opportunity to produce as the season progresses.

Disappoints Sunday Legette wasn't targeted during Sunday's 26-3 loss to the Chargers.

Impact After head coach Dave Canales raved about Legette's Week 1 performance (4-35-0) to reporters Wednesday, the 2024 first-round pick didn't even see a target in Week 2. Legette was on the field for just 20 offensive snaps Sunday, playing behind Jonathan Mingo (30), Diontae Johnson (45) and Adam Thielen (45). With Legette's inconsistent playing time and the Panthers offensive struggles through the first two weeks, it may be tough for the rookie to make an impact as Carolina takes on the Raiders in Week 3.
