CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Carolina Panthers starting wide receiver Jalen Coker is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game against the Detroit Lions with a quadriceps injury, while backup wide receiver Xavier Legette has been ruled out with a knee injury.
Coach Dave Canales said the Panthers will have to see how Coker feels on Saturday before making a decision on his status.
Coker, who leads the Panthers with 18 catches for 222 yards and two touchdowns, was listed as limited in practice on Friday. He worked on individual drills with trainers before practice and then participated in some of the team portion, according to Canales.
“We are going to have to gather more information about Jalen to see where that is headed,” Canales said.
Also, right tackle Monroe Freeling (concussion) and defensive tackles Cam Jackson (knee) and Lee Hunter (foot) are listed as questionable for Week 4. Freeling was a full participant in practice on Friday while Jackson and Hunter were limited.
Quarterback Bryce Young does not have an injury designation after being listed on the injury report (knee) earlier this week. He was a full participant in practice for the third straight day and will start against the Lions.
The Panthers placed starting cornerbacks Jaycee Horn (quadriceps) and Mike Jackson (groin) on injured reserve earlier this week. They are both expected to miss about eight weeks.
