Panthers' Coker ruled out for Lions game as Detroit faces depleted Carolina roster
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker is unlikely to play against the Detroit Lions on Sunday night due to a quad injury, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Coker, who led the Panthers with 18 catches, 222 yards, and two touchdowns through three games, was limited in practice this week. The Panthers elevated Ja'Seem Reed from the practice squad, signaling Coker's absence. This injury compounds Carolina's woes, as Xavier Legette was placed on injured reserve this week. The Lions, who rank last in passing yards allowed, face a Panthers offense that ranks first in passing yards per game but is missing key defensive and offensive pieces.
