Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette continues to be sidelined due to hamstring injury

The Carolina Panthers are taking a cautious approach with rookie wide receiver Xavier Legette. After missing most of organized team activities with a hamstring injury, Legette remained sidelined at the start of mandatory minicamp. Head coach Dave Canales addressed concerns about the severity of Legette’s setback, stating that it was not more serious than initially anticipated. Canales emphasized the importance of being cautious with injuries, especially with training camp approaching.

Despite Legette not participating in minicamp, Canales mentioned that he would likely be ready to play if there was a game that week. However, the team is prioritizing Legette’s long-term health and focusing on getting him fully healthy for training camp. The Panthers have one more session of mandatory minicamp before breaking off for a few weeks, with dates for training camp still to be announced. The team is taking a conservative approach with Legette’s injury, ensuring he is fully ready for the upcoming season.
