Panthers Place WR Xavier Legette on Injured Reserve
The 2024 first-round pick will miss at least four games with a knee injury ahead of Carolina's prime-time matchup against Detroit.

The Carolina Panthers have placed wide receiver Xavier Legette on injured reserve, a move that will keep the 2024 first-round pick out of action for at least the next four games.
The decision comes ahead of the Panthers' prime-time game against the Detroit Lions on Sunday, leaving Carolina without one of its young offensive pieces for the contest.
Legette, selected in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, has been working to establish himself as a reliable target in Carolina's receiving corps since entering the league. His placement on injured reserve means he cannot return to the active roster for a minimum of four games under NFL rules.
The Panthers have not announced a timetable beyond that mandatory minimum absence, and the team's receiving corps will need to adjust its rotation in his absence as Carolina heads into Sunday night's matchup.
