• Panthers' Jalen Coker: Questionable with quad injury

  7H ago • By RotoWire

  Coker is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Kansas City after missing Friday's practice with a quadriceps injury. An end-of-week addition to the injury report isn't good news, and Coker's role was already somewhat in flux due to the impending return of Adam Thielen (who is listed as questionable but expected to play). The undrafted rookie presumably has shown enough that the Panthers will want to keep playing him, even if that means moving him out of the slot and to the perimeter in an effort to accommodate Thielen. Unfortunately, we won't get to see the new plan if Coker ends up on the inactive list 90 minutes ahead of a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday.

• Panthers' Jalen Coker: Team-high yardage total in OT win

  12D ago • By RotoWire

  Coker brought in three of eight targets for 41 yards in the Panthers' 20-17 overtime win over the Giants in Munich on Sunday. Coker's yardage total, modest as it was, led the Panthers on the day, as did his career-high target tally. The undrafted rookie has displayed good chemistry with Bryce Young and is now boasting a 9-155-1 line on 17 targets in the latter's three-game starting stint. With Diontae Johnson now in Baltimore, Coker should continue to enjoy a prominent role during a Week 12 home matchup against the Chiefs on Sunday, Nov. 24 following a Week 11 bye, although Adam Thielen (IR, hamstring) is expected back for that game.

• Panthers' Jalen Coker: Quiet in Week 9

  19D ago • By RotoWire

  Coker caught two of his three targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 23-22 win over the Saints. Coker was held without a catch in the second half of Sunday's win; however, the rookie from Holy Cross still finished with the most receiving yards among Panthers wideouts. The 23-year-old's role in Carolina's offense appears likely to continue growing after Diontae Johnson was traded to the Ravens on Oct. 29, and he and the Panthers will next face the Giants in Week 10.

  Coker (foot) is active Sunday against the Bears. Coker saw a limited role in his NFL debut last week and will likely see a similar workload Sunday, operating as a depth option with Adam Thielen (hamstring) out of action.

• Panthers' Jalen Coker: Questionable after full practice

  10/04/2024 • By RotoWire

  Coker (foot) practiced in full Friday and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears, David Newton of ESPN.com reports. Panthers head coach Dave Canales said all players listed as questionable have a good chance to suit up Sunday, per Joe Person of The Athletic. That lends optimism to the notion that Coker will be able to suit up versus Chicago. Coker handled a depth role in his regular-season debut Week 4, and he failed to secure his only target.
