Panthers activate WR Xavier Legette from IR
Follow
The Carolina Panthers have activated wide receiver Xavier Legette from injured reserve, clearing him to play in Sunday’s matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Legette, who has been sidelined since suffering a knee injury in Week 2, returned to practice this week and is expected to contribute offensively after recording two receptions for 64 yards prior to his setback.
The move adds depth to the Panthers’ receiving corps, though it comes alongside other roster adjustments, including the designation of cornerback Mike Jackson and running back Jonathon Brooks for return from IR—neither of whom will suit up for the game. Meanwhile, the team elevated practice-squad cornerbacks Marco Wilson and Corey Thornton to bolster the secondary, as injuries to Jaycee Horn and Mike Jackson, along with a questionable Will Lee, create defensive challenges.
