BREAKING NEWS: Carolina Panthers Quarterback Bryce Young rejects contract Extension….

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Xavier Legette did not participate in Tuesday’s mandatory minicamp practice due to a lingering hamstring injury.

Head coach Dave Canales was asked following today’s practice if the injury is worse than initially thought. Here’s his response.

“No, not really. We’re looking at the time getting shorter and shorter to when we go to camp.

So we really just can’t afford to say, ‘Well, it’s good enough,’ I think if we’re playing a game this week he’s practicing and we’re getting ready to go.

But right now, this is not the time to test that. So, I think being cautious on that side, looking towards training camp is the right thing to do.”

Legette is expected to be ready to go when training camp begins late next month.

The Panthers’ first-round pick hauled in 71 receptions for 1,255 yards and seven touchdowns in his final year at South Carolina.

Barring a series of injuries, the Carolina Panthers will cut wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. A second-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the LSU product entered the league after a breakout season where he established himself as the top option in the Tigers offense.

After playing second-fiddle to two top-five receivers in Justin Jefferson and Ja’Marr Chase early in his college days, Carolina believed that Marshall had what it took to be a reliable threat on the perimeter.

Unfortunately, those talents did not translate to the professional level.

While he showed some promise in 2022 with Sam Darnold under center, the wide receiver has largely failed to make an impact on an underwhelming depth chart.

Last year, the former second-round pick recorded just 19 receptions for 139 yards and no touchdowns on 33 targets.

Seeing as the Panthers added Diontae Johnson and first-round pick Xavier Legette, it’s safe to assume that Carolina will cut Terrace Marshall before the start of the season.
