Xavier Legette: Xavier Legette Placed on Injured Reserve

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette (knee) has been placed on Injured Reserve, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Legette has been sidelined since Week 2 by a knee injury and is now set to miss at least the next four weeks. Before getting injured, the 25-year-old recorded two catches for 64 yards on six targets. Legette's role in the Panthers' offense had been diminished by the emergence of Carolina wideout Jalen Coker (quad), who has established himself as the team's clear WR2 alongside star wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan. Still, the knee injury is an unwelcome setback for Legette, who has struggled to get his career off the ground since being selected by Carolina in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft. With Legette sidelined, Panthers wideouts Brycen Tremayne, David Moore, and John Metchie III could all see a few more chances to contribute.
