Panthers’ wide receiver carted off the field during practice
Carolina Panthers 2024 first-round draft pick Xavier Legette was carted off the field on Tuesday with an upper-body injury.
Carolina Panthers' first-round draft pick Xavier Legette was carted off the field during practice on Tuesday due to an upper-body injury. After making a catch in the corner of the end zone, Legette came down hard on the turf and was immediately attended to by trainers. Despite walking on his own after receiving assistance from staff, Legette was taken away in a cart for further examination.
Panthers coach Dave Canales is set to reveal the specific nature of Legette's injury post-practice. Legette, who lost his starting position last season to Jalen Coker, was expected to compete with Tetairoa McMillan for the team's third wide receiver spot. The Panthers, who have already lost wide receiver Chris Brazzell to a torn LCL injury for the season, open preseason play against the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday in Canton, Ohio.
