Back in Sunday's game Legette (hand) returned to Sunday's game versus the Saints, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Legette exited late in the second quarter due to a hand injury but was able to get back on the field after halftime. He'll be looking build upon the two catches (on two targets) for three yards and one touchdown and one carry for six yards that he accrued in the first half.

Exits Sunday's game Legette exited Sunday's game against the Saints with a hand injury, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Suiting up Sunday Legette (toe) is listed as active Sunday against the Saints, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Legette was a midweek addition to the Panthers' Week 9 injury report due to a toe issue, culminating with back-to-back limited sessions. With his status now confirmed for Sunday's contest, he'll among the top wide receivers for quarterback Bryce Young along with Jalen Coker, David Moore, Jonathan Mingo and Deven Thompkins.

Intends to take field Sunday Legette (toe), who is officially questionable for Sunday's Week 9 clash against New Orleans, plans to play, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.

Impact Legette popped up on the injury report Thursday due to a toe injury and ended the week with a pair of limited practices. He was deemed questionable heading into the weekend, but it looks like he'll give it a go versus the Saints. With Diontae Johnson traded to the Ravens on Tuesday, Legette takes over as Carolina's de facto No. 1 wideout, and he'll look to build upon the three receiving touchdowns he's scored over the past five weeks, though he's averaging a modest 3.2 catches for 26.8 yards during that span.

Receives Week 9 questionable tag Legette (toe) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Legette was added to the Panthers' injury report Thursday, when he was a limited participant in practice due to the toe injury. He was again limited in Friday's session, prompting the Panthers to give him a designation heading into the weekend. The fact that he was able to practice in some fashion on consecutive days is a positive sign, but Legette's status may not get much clarity until Carolina releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. With the Panthers trading away Diontae Johnson earlier this week and with Adam Thielen (hamstring) listed as doubtful and unlikely to be activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's contest, Legette could serve as the top target in the passing game for quarterback Bryce Young if he's able to move past the toe injury.

Added to injury report Legette was limited at Thursday's practice due to a toe injury, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Legette is a midweek addition to Carolina's practice report, so his status bears watching Friday to see if he may be in danger of sitting out (or being inhibited) Sunday versus the Saints. In the wake of the Diontae Johnson trade earlier this week, Legette is in line to pace the Panthers' receiving corps moving forward, but the current health concern may throw a wrench into those expectations in the short term.

Xavier Legette on the 'trust passes' he gets from Bryce Young Xavier Legette talks about his production recently and the rapport he's built with Bryce Young.

Finds end zone in Sunday's loss Legette caught four of seven targets for 34 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-14 loss to the Broncos.

Impact The rookie wideout opened the scoring by grabbing a six-yard strike from Bryce Young in the first quarter. Legette has gotten into the end zone three times in the last five games, but he's managed only 16 catches for 134 yards on 25 targets over that stretch. Carolina's passing game is likely to be in flux in the second half of the season as coach Dave Canales sorts out his QB situation and the front office decides whether or not to trade away Diontae Johnson (ribs) and Adam Thielen (hamstring), but Legette will likely see his role continue to grow as the team focuses on the development of the 32nd overall pick in the 2024 Draft.

Impact Legette could work as the top option in a depleted Panthers receiving corps that also includes Jalen Coker, David Moore and Jonathan Mingo. Denver boasts one of the league's stingiest secondaries, but Legette may benefit from the potential absence of Patrick Surtain (concussion). Legette has caught 18 of 28 targets for 177 yards and two touchdowns through seven games. The Panthers will have Bryce Young, rather than Andy Dalton (thumb) at quarterback Sunday.

Just two catches vs. Commanders Legette caught two of his three targets for three yards in Sunday's 40-7 loss to the Commanders. He also rushed once for six yards.

Impact All three of Legette's touches came in the second half, possibly benefiting from a favorable game script with the Panthers trailing by as much as 37. The 2024 first-round pick is projected to continue serving as the Panthers' No. 2 wide receiver while Adam Thielen (hamstring) remains sidelined. However, it's unclear how much fantasy value he'll posses moving forward with Carolina's recent offensive struggles.

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.
