Xavier Legette's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette (hip) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 16 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. As expected, Legette won't play after being considered week-to-week, according to head coach Dave Canales. There is only three games left in the season, so we'll see if Legette is able to get on the field again this season. For now, Adam Thielen and Jalen Coker (quad) figure to serve as the primary wideouts. However, Coker (quad) and fellow wideout David Moore (concussion) are considered questionable for this game. Deven Thompkins could end up seeing an expanded role, but he won't be a recommended streaming option. If active, both Coker and Moore have low-end flex appeal for this Week 16 matchup.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette (hip) was tagged with a DNP to kick off this week's worth of practice. It's no surprise, as the 23-year-old was considered week to week with what was once labeled as a groin injury. He sustained it this past weekend in Carolina's 30-14 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. It's unfortunate news for the rookie, as he was getting a ton of playing time in his first NFL season -- leading the Panthers' wide receiver corps in snaps. With Legette likely to sit out this weekend's contest against the Arizona Cardinals, it will open up playing time for WR Deven Thompkins. Additionally, teammates Adam Thielen and Jalen Coker figure to get a bump in target share.

According to Joe Person of The Athletic, Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette (groin) will likely be inactive for Sunday's meeting with the Arizona Cardinals and is considered week to week. The rookie wideout was forced from Week 15's loss to the Dallas Cowboys in the second half and did not return. In addition to his most recent ailment, Legette has also been dealing with a wrist injury that stems from his 2021 collegiate season. Reportedly, he's expected to have surgery to repair ligaments in his wrist after the regular season. While it apparently has yet to affect his play, being hurt rarely ever boosts your productivity. With the 23-year-old probably sitting out in Week 16, wide receivers Deven Thompkins and David Moore project to pick up extra snaps.
