WR Jalen Coker among 5 Panthers held out of Thursday's practice
WRs Jalen Coker and Xavier Legette were among the five Panthers held out of Thursday's practice.
In Week 3, Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker faced an unexpected setback, being held out of practice on Thursday. This left him among five teammates who missed the session. The third-year player is currently managing an ankle sprain, which he suffered during the regular-season opener against the Chicago Bears. Despite the injury, Coker managed to make an impact in the opener, recording a career-high 138 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
He continued to play in Sunday's victory over the Atlanta Falcons, gaining 66 yards on eight catches and returning two punts for a total of 49 yards. Xavier Legette, another wide receiver, also missed practice due to a knee injury. The full injury report for Thursday revealed that Coker was listed as limited on Wednesday but was fully cleared on Thursday.
Other players affected were linebacker Claudin Cherelus (shoulder), Nick Scott (rib), linebacker Devin Lloyd (calf), defensive lineman Bobby Brown III (back), outside linebacker Pat Jones II (back), and tight end Darren Waller (rest).
