Resumes practicing in full Legette (hamstring) was a full participant in practice Wednesday.

Impact Legette looks set to return from his two-game absence and take the field Sunday versus the Dolphins. Head coach Dave Canales confirmed as much, saying Wednesday that "we are getting [Legette] back" for Week 5. The second-year pro drew 15 combined targets across Carolina's first two regular-season games but was tremendously unproductive with those opportunities, totaling just eight receiving yards. He'll rejoin Tetairoa McMillan and Hunter Renfrow as a starter in three-wide sets versus Miami and look to display better chemistry with quarterback Bryce Young.

Labeled day-to-day Panthers coach Dave Canales said Monday that Legette (hamstring) is day-to-day, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Legette has missed back-to-back games and was unable to practice in any capacity en route to being ruled out for Week 4, but it appears he has a better chance to returning Week 5 to take on the Dolphins on Sunday, Oct. 5. Across two regular-season appearances so far, the 2024 first-round pick has secured just four of 15 targets for eight receiving yards.

Out Sunday Legette (hamstring) won't play Sunday against the Patriots.

Impact Legette, who was unable to practice this week, will thus target a potential return to action Oct. 5 against the Dolphins. In his absence this weekend, David Moore, Hunter Renfrow and Brycen Tremayne are candidates to see added Week 4 snaps alongside fellow WR Tetairoa McMillan (calf, questionable).

Panthers and Patriots head into matchup in search of offensive consistency after 1-2 starts

Remains sidelined Thursday Legette (hamstring) remained sidelined for Thursday's practice.

Impact Legette got in a trio of limited practices last week with the hamstring issue but was ultimately inactive for Week 3 against the Falcons. He's now logging DNPs this week, and it's unclear if he experience some sort of setback with the hamstring. David Moore played a position-high 97 percent of the offensive snaps last Sunday versus Atlanta and would be in line for increased reps again if Legette is unable to play.

No practice Wednesday Legette (hamstring) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice.

Impact Prior to being inactive Week 3, Legette was listed as limited on all three practice reports, so his downgrade to begin this week may be cause for concern. However, coach Dave Canales told Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site Wednesday that Legette is considered "day-to-day," meaning the wide receiver's status will continue to monitored as the week goes on to get a sense of his chances to return to action Sunday in New England.

Missing practice Wednesday Legette (hamstring) is not participating in the early portion of Wednesday's practice early to the media, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Legette sat out Carolina's blowout win over the Falcons in Week 3, but he had entered the contest after a trio of limited practice. By that comparison, his lack of participation Wednesday seems to represent a step in the wrong direction. The second-year pro will have two more chances to get back on the practice field before Sunday's road matchup against New England.

Sitting out in Week 3 Legette (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Legette earned significant snap shares (78 and 80 percent) in the first two games of the season, but his combined line of 4-8-0 on 15 targets to date doesn't reflect that fact. He then was limited in practice during Week 3 prep due to a hamstring issue that will sideline him Sunday. In Legette's stead, David Moore is expected to start alongside top WR Tetairoa McMillan, while Hunter Renfrow, Brycen Tremayne and Dalevon Campbell will be the other available options at the position.

Panthers finally have golden chance to ease pressure on Xavier Legette A huge decision awaits.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2025 • CATCRAVE.COM

Questionable for Week 3 Legette (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Carolina.

Impact Legette was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday, never quite progressing to full. Brycen Tremayne was Carolina's No. 4 receiver last week, but David Moore and Jimmy Horn could also help fill the gap if Legette ends up inactive ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday. Given his poor form the past two weeks, Legette's absence wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing for the Carolina offense.

Impact Legette has now logged back-to-back limited practice sessions due to a hamstring injury, meaning Friday will be his final opportunity to upgrade to full reps ahead of Sunday's home matchup against the Falcons.
