Panthers confirm Coker inactive for Lions, elevating Reed

The Carolina Panthers confirmed wide receiver Jalen Coker is inactive for their Sunday Night Football matchup against the Detroit Lions due to a quad injury. Coker, who led the team in receptions and yards through the first three weeks, was listed as questionable before being ruled out. To compensate, the Panthers elevated practice squad receiver Ja'seem Reed and cornerback Robert Rochell. Left guard Damien Lewis is also out, with Corey Bullock filling in. The Panthers' receiving corps now features Tetairoa McMillan, Brycen Tremayne, John Metchie III, David Moore, and Reed. This absence compounds the loss of Xavier Legette, who was placed on injured reserve earlier in the week. The game marks the first Sunday Night Football appearance in Charlotte in 11 years.
