Who Should I Start? Jalen Coker or Carnell Tate

Friday, September 25, 8:41 AM

Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales expects wide receiver Jalen Coker (ankle) to play on Sunday in the team's Week 3 matchup on the road against the Cleveland Browns, according to Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer. Meanwhile, fellow wideout Xavier Legette (knee) will be a game-time decision. Coker, who played through an ankle injury in the Week 1 loss to the Chicago Bears on his way to eight catches, 138 yards, and two touchdowns, was limited in practice on Wednesday and did not practice on Thursday of this week. The 24-year-old returned to practice on Friday, though, and should be active this weekend against Cleveland. Coker caught eight of nine targets for the second straight week in the Week 2 blowout win over the division-rival Atlanta Falcons, going for 66 receiving yards. His ankle injury has not slowed him down yet, although it will be something to keep an eye on as the season progresses, especially given Coker's inability to stay healthy through his first two NFL seasons. As long as he is active on Sunday, Coker should be considered at least a low-end WR2 option this weekend.
