Panthers | Jalen Coker will play Thursday at Green Bay Wed Oct 28, 02:59 PM
Panthers WR Jalen Coker (shoulder) did not receive a game status and will play Thursday night against the Packers.
| Footballguys view: Coker caught 1-of-4 targets for nine yards in the Panthers' Week 7 loss to the Bucs. That's a terrible stat line, but Fantasy GMs should still be considering him a WR2 against the Packers on Thursday Night Football. |

The final report with game statuses for Thursday's game at Green Bay comes on Wednesday. Still, a positive trajectory (even estimated) is a good sign. We'll follow up after the injury report is released on Wednesday. |

Panthers | Coker held to 1 catch for 9 yards in loss to Buccaneers Sun Oct 25, 03:51 PM
Carolina Panthers WR Jalen Coker caught 1 pass for 9 yards on 4 targets in Sunday's 43-13 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was projected for 14.1 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 1.4.
| Footballguys view: Nothing worked for the Panthers on offense today in an embarrassing blowout home loss. Don't put this on Coker, and do know that the Bucs pass defense is underrated as they have frustrated Joe Burrow, Jordan Love, and Dak Prescott so far this season. Tampa Bay will face Michael Penix and the Panthers will face Love in Green Bay next week trying to hold onto first place in the NFC South. |

Panthers | Chuba Hubbard back to full practice Thursday after Wednesday rest day Thu Oct 22, 03:30 PM
Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard was a full participant in practice on Thursday. He was one of four players, along with RT Taylor Moton, LB Devin Lloyd and TE Darren Waller, who had non-injury-related rest days on Wednesday. Carolina hosts the Buccaneers on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Hubbard is getting a large workload as the featured back for the Panthers, and he's hammering out tough yards between the tackles. They're going to give him some rest during the week, but Hubbard should be good to go for Week 7. We've got him as an RB1 against the Buccaneers. |

Panthers | Canales says 'fair to expect' Jaelan Phillips out Sunday Wed Oct 21, 02:58 PM
Panthers DE Jaelan Phillips (hamstring) is not expected to play Sunday against the Buccaneers, head coach Dave Canales said on Wednesday. Canales said it's fair to expect Phillips out of the mix for Sunday, with the Panthers facing a quick turnaround for a Thursday Night Football game the following week. Phillips was downgraded to out with the hamstring injury during the game against the Lions earlier this month.

Panthers | Chuba Hubbard on the side with trainers as Wednesday practice begins Wed Oct 21, 01:31 PM
Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard was among the players on the side with trainers as individual drills began at Wednesday's practice. No reason was given. Players were in helmets only on Wednesday, so it could be a light practice. Hubbard ran for 120 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Eagles.
| Footballguys view: Hubbard picked up some tough yards against the Eagles, so he could be getting some veteran rest here. He should be fine for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, and we like Hubbard as a low-end RB1. |

Panthers | Tremble catches 4 passes for 46 yards, two touchdowns in win over Eagles Sun Oct 18, 04:31 PM
Carolina Panthers TE Tommy Tremble caught 4 passes for 46 yards and two touchdowns on 4 targets in Sunday's 25-14 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. He was projected for 3.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 18.6.

Panthers | Hubbard runs for 120 yards, one TD in win over Eagles Sun Oct 18, 04:31 PM
Carolina Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard ran 28 times for 120 yards and a touchdown and also caught 1 pass for 1 yard on 2 targets in Sunday's 25-14 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. He was projected for 15.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 18.6.
| Footballguys view: The Panthers offense passed its stiffest test of the season, with Hubbard's tough running helping them close out a resounding road win against a good defense. Hubbard is a solid RB1 in a balanced offense with a line that is going to get some key starters back. He has a tough matchup against the Bucs stout run defense next week. |

Panthers | Trevor Etienne activated off IR, questionable for Sunday at Eagles Sat Oct 17, 01:45 PM
The Panthers activated RB Trevor Etienne to the 53-man roster on Saturday ahead of Sunday's Week 6 game at the Eagles. Etienne, working back from an ankle injury, was a full participant in practice every day this week and is listed as questionable. With RB AJ Dillon out with an ankle injury, the team also elevated RB Anthony Tyus III from the practice squad to serve as a third back, his second elevation.
| Footballguys view: Etienne is a versatile back who can spell Chuba Hubbard to keep the Panthers No. 1 back from wearing down. He's not worth an add outside of very deep leagues, but Etienne will be on our waiver wire watch list for his Hubbard injury upside, at least as long as No. 2 back Jonathon Brooks is out with a groin injury, which could be until around Thanksgiving. |

Panthers | Bryce Young carries no game designation, good to go Sunday Fri Oct 16, 12:26 PM
Panthers QB Bryce Young carries no game designation for Sunday's game against the Eagles and is good to go. Young was a full participant in practice all week.
| Footballguys view: Young has been on the injury report with a knee issue since the lead-up to Week 4's game. It hasn't affected him, and he had last week's bye to rest. Young has been lights out to start this season. Get him in your lineup as a back-end QB1. |

Panthers | AJ Dillon ruled out for Sunday against the Eagles Fri Oct 16, 12:26 PM
Panthers RB AJ Dillon (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Eagles after missing the entire week of practice. Philadelphia is one of Dillon's former teams.
| Footballguys view: Chuba Hubbard should once again dominate the Panthers' backfield touches with Dillon out. He's the per-game RB6 through Week 5 and can be relied on as a high-end RB2 against the decimated Eagles. |

Panthers | Jalen Coker in uniform on Tuesday Tue Oct 13, 01:54 PM
Panthers WR Jalen Coker, who has been dealing with a quad injury, was in uniform on Tuesday.
| Footballguys view: On Monday, Coker was described as "on track" in his recovery but with "big days of practice" ahead. It's reasonable to believe the off week worked in his favor. We'll be following up on Coker, who has averaged 17.4 fantasy points in three games, as the week progresses. |

Panthers | Jalen Coker 'on track' but has 'big days of practice' ahead Mon Oct 12, 01:30 PM
Panthers head coach Dave Canales said on Monday that WR Jalen Coker (quad) is "on track" but has a couple of big days of practice ahead of him this week.
| Footballguys view: Carolina visits the Eagles on Sunday in Week 6. Coker was considered unlikely to play against the Lions before sitting out Week 4 due to the quad injury. His absence wasn't a huge factor against the Lions, but getting Coker back this week would be a huge plus for Bryce Young and the passing attack. |

Panthers | Tommy Tremble could have 'pretty busy and productive outing' with Coker unlikely to play Sun Oct 4, 10:26 AM
Panthers TE Tommy Tremble "could have a pretty busy and productive outing" Sunday night against the Lions, as bootlegs to Carolina's tight ends "have been working really well" over the past three weeks, particularly with Tremble. TE Darren Waller "could help fill the void, too." WR Jalen Coker, listed as questionable with a quad injury, is unlikely to play, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported.

Panthers | WR Xavier Legette placed on injured reserve Sat Oct 3, 04:15 PM
Panthers WR Xavier Legette (knee) has been placed on injured reserve. ESPN lists an estimated return of November 8.
| Footballguys view: The third-year wideout was hurt during the Atlanta game, after hauling in a 55-yard reception. But Legette hasn't played since, as he was inactive last week. Now, he'll miss at least four games, leaving Tetairoa McMillan, Jalen Coker, John Metchie III, David Moore, and Brycen Tremayne on the roster. With Coker questionable this week, WR Ja'Seem Reed was promoted to the active roster and is available this week. |

Panthers | WR Xavier Legette ruled out for Week 4 Fri Oct 2, 12:45 PM
Panthers WR Xavier Legette (knee) is listed as out on the Week 4 injury report. Xavier Legette did not participate in Friday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Legette didn't practice at all this week, so there's no surprise that he won't be ready for Sunday night. Even if active, Legette would have been little more than a desperation play in deep leagues. |

Panthers | Jalen Coker questionable vs. Lions Fri Oct 2, 12:31 PM
WR Jalen Coker (quad) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions after he did not take part in individual drills at Friday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Coker didn't practice at the start of the week but returned on Thursday and logged back-to-back days, albeit in limited fashion. Dave Canales tipped his hand a bit, saying the team would activate Ja'Seem Reed if Coker isn't available, so fantasy managers can keep an eye out for that. In the few clips circulating from today's practice, Coker doesn't look completely healthy, showing some hesitancy in fully opening up his stride. If he's active, he'll be a risky WR4. If he can't play this week but logs a full practice heading into Week 5, managers can start him with much more confidence. The Panthers play Sunday night, so watching Reed's activation will help us decide what to do with Coker before the early slate of games. |

Panthers | Xavier Legette not ruled out yet but 'trending in that direction', Coker limited Thu Oct 1, 04:46 PM
Panthers WR Xavier Legette (knee) has not been ruled out for this week's game yet, but is "trending in that direction." Head coach Dave Canales called Legette week-to-week on Wednesday. Legette did not practice on Thursday, while WR Jalen Coker (quad) was limited.
| Footballguys view: Coker is working to get out there in Week 4 on Sunday night against the Lions. The late start means Fantasy GMs planning on Coker need to be very certain of his status. We'll have a better idea if Coker will play after Friday's practice. A full practice on Friday would make us feel a heckuva lot better about his availability in Week 4. |

Panthers | Bryce Young wearing small brace on left knee, appears to be full participant again Thu Oct 1, 02:26 PM
Panthers QB Bryce Young is wearing a small brace on his left knee, which he tweaked against the Browns on Sunday.

Panthers | RB Chuba Hubbard did not practice Wednesday Wed Sep 30, 06:15 PM
Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard did not participate in Wednesday's practice.
| Footballguys view: Hubbard is getting an expanded workload with Jonathon Brooks on IR. He rushed 19 times for 82 yards in the Panthers' Week 3 loss to the Browns, and Hubbard also had four receptions for 28 yards. He's getting some rest on Wednesday with an eye on a healthy workload on Sunday night against the Lions. We like him as an RB1/RB2 option, so make sure he is at least limited on Friday. |

Panthers | Bryce Young leading offense in install drills at Wednesday practice Wed Sep 30, 01:37 PM
Panthers QB Bryce Young was leading the offense in install drills during practice on Wednesday, indicating he was practicing in earnest.
| Footballguys view: Young was kicked in the leg in Sunday's loss to the Browns and underwent imaging, but head coach Dave Canales said on Monday he expects Young to play against the Lions. Young is fully practicing on Wednesday, and he should perform like a low-end QB1 for Fantasy GMs. |

Panthers WR Jalen Coker had his helmet but was off to the side with trainers during the team stretch at Wednesday's practice. Coker is dealing with a quad strain that was described as "relatively mino"' on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Panthers HC Dave Canales wants to see Coker move around a bit before he gets out there to practice. He's considered day-to-day with this quad injury. Coker is considered questionable for Week 4 against the Lions, so make sure to have a backup plan ready. |

Panthers | WR David Moore signed to active roster from practice squad Wed Sep 30, 11:01 AM
Panthers WR David Moore was signed to the active roster from the practice squad.
| Footballguys view: The Panthers have some banged up wide receivers, so that's why Moore gets the call-up. Panthers HC Dave Canales said WR Jalen Coker (who missed Wednesday's practice with a quad injury) is "more day-to-day" while WR Xavier Legette (knee) is week-to-week. |

Panthers | No timetable for CB Mike Jackson Tue Sep 29, 10:56 AM
Panthers CB Mike Jackson (groin) was getting imaging on Monday, head coach Dave Canales said. Canales did not offer a timeline when asked if Jackson could be out long term.
| Footballguys view: Jackson was ruled out of Sunday's loss to the Browns after suffering the injury. The injury comes as CB Jaycee Horn is also set to miss significant time. The Panthers play the Lions this week. Look for Detroit to exploit the personnel changes stemming from these injuries. |

Panthers | Bryce Young to undergo imaging after getting kicked in the leg vs. Browns Mon Sep 28, 01:29 PM
Panthers QB Bryce Young will undergo imaging just to make sure after getting kicked in the leg against the Browns, head coach Dave Canales said on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Young, who threw for 291 yards, a touchdown and an interception against Cleveland, didn't make excuses for coming up short against the Browns. He also wouldn't provide details on his ailment. "Nothing -- it's football; we're all dealing with stuff," Young said. "It doesn't have any bearing on the game. Tough one, just didn't get it done." We'll be watching his status as the Panthers prepare to play the Lions in Week 4. |

Panthers | CB Jaycee Horn could miss rest of the 2026 season Mon Sep 28, 01:17 PM
Panthers cornerback Jaycee Horn sustained a torn quad during the fourth quarter of Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Cleveland Browns, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Horn will seek a second opinion, sources said, but he is headed for injured reserve and could miss the rest of the 2026 season. Sources told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler that Horn could miss six to 12 weeks.
| Footballguys view: Horn was replaced by rookie Will Lee, the team's third cornerback in the positional pecking order, after he was helped off the field. Starting cornerback Mike Jackson injured his groin in the first half and was replaced by special teams ace Akayleb Evans throughout the second half. The Panthers also have longtime nickel cornerback Chau Smith-Wade on the roster. Corey Thornton, who played quite a bit last season, is on the practice squad. |

Panthers | Jalen Coker has 'minor' quad strain, considered questionable for Week 4 vs. Lions Mon Sep 28, 11:16 AM
Panthers WR Jalen Coker suffered a minor quad strain in Sunday's loss to the Browns and is considered questionable to play in Week 4 against the Lions, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Monday, per a source.
| Footballguys view: Coker played through an ankle injury that had him listed as questionable heading into the game, but it was the quad that ended his day in the third quarter. He finished with two catches for 18 yards. He has 18 catches for 222 yards and two touchdowns on the season. We'll be monitoring his status as the Panthers prepare to play the Lions in Week 4. |

Panthers | McMillan held to 2 catches for 17 yards in loss to Browns Sun Sep 27, 07:01 PM
Carolina Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan caught 2 passes for 17 yards on 5 targets in Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Cleveland Browns. He was projected for 12.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 2.7.
| Footballguys view: Denzel Ward did his job against the Panthers #1 receiver. Jalen Coker left with a quad injury and will probably miss the Week 4 game (and maybe more), but Carolina is facing the Lions defense, so McMillan is still a high ceiling WR2 play next week. |

Panthers | Jalen Coker (quad) out for the game Sun Sep 27, 03:05 PM
Panthers WR Jalen Coker left Sunday's game against the Browns with a quad injury and was listed as questionable to return. With Coker sidelined, the Panthers' wide receivers on the field were Tetairoa McMillan, Brycen Tremayne and Metchie. Coker was later downgraded to out.
| Footballguys view: Coker was nursing an ankle injury coming into this game. A quad issue landed him on injured reserve last season, so we'll have to wait for more details to learn whether this is related to that injury. |
