Xavier Legette’s knee injury interrupts his Panthers revival just as it builds

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette has suffered a knee injury following an impressive Week 2 display against the Atlanta Falcons. Legette had been listed as questionable leading up to the game and was evaluated as a game-time decision, but his pre-game workout was insufficient to allow him to play.

The setback occurred during a 55-yard reception against Atlanta, which resulted in a knee complication that limited his practice time throughout the week. The Panthers have chosen to take a cautious approach with the receiver, who is playing in his third professional season.
