Panthers' Xavier Legette: No practice Wednesday
Xavier Legette (hip) didn't practice Wednesday.Legette made an early exit from this past Sunday's loss to the Cowboys due to a groin injury, but it's been reclassified as a hip issue on the Carolina Panthers' first Week 16 injury report. Coach Dave Canales told Steve Reed of the Associated Press on Monday that the Panthers consider Legette week-to-week and unlikely to play Sunday against the Cardinals, so his lack of on-field work Wednesday isn't a surprise. Considering those comments, the Panthers seem likely to rule out Legette by week's end.

Panthers' Xavier Legette: Considered week-to-week
Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales said Monday that Xavier Legette (groin) is week-to-week and expected to be ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports.Canales said he would "love to have a chance for [Legette] to finish the season strongly," but the rookie first-round pick is expected to miss at least one contest due to the groin injury he sustained during Carolina's 30-14 loss to the Cowboys in Week 15. If Legette indeed isn't able to suit up versus Arizona, Adam Thielen, Jalen Coker and David Moore will be positioned as Bryce Young's clear top wide receivers, with Deven Thompkins acting in the No. 4 role.

Xavier Legette caught two of eight targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 22-16 loss to the Eagles.The rookie wideout had trouble hanging onto the ball all day, but Legette's biggest drop came in the fourth quarter when he couldn't haul in what might have been a game-winning 32-yard touchdown in the final minute.

Panthers' Xavier Legette: Gaining momentum
Xavier Legette caught four of his eight targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to the Buccaneers.The 2024 first-round pick from South Carolina posted his third game of the season with 50-plus receiving yards in Week 13, including his second in as many weeks. His 53 yards ranked third among Carolina Panthers receiving threats in Sunday's loss, trailing Adam Thielen (99 yards) and Tommy Tremble (77 yards). Legette's role in the Panthers' offense appears to be growing as the season progresses, with six or more targets in four of the last five games. The 23-year-old has now tallied 393 receiving yards and four touchdowns on 37 receptions in his first 12 NFL games. He'll try to continue improving as the Panthers travel to Philadelphia in Week 14.

Panthers' Xavier Legette: Three grabs in Germany win
Xavier Legette secured three of four targets for 40 yards in the Carolina Panthers' 20-17 overtime win over the Giants in Munich on Sunday.Legette tied Jalen Coker for the team lead in receptions while falling just a yard short of his teammate's team-high figure in that category. Legette has been busy during Bryce Young's current three-game starting stint -- the wideout now sports an 11-117-2 line in that span -- and he should continue enjoying a steady role during a Week 12 home matchup against the Chiefs on Sunday, Nov. 24 following a Week 11 bye, even if Adam Thielen (IR, hamstring) returns for that contest.
