Mum’s pretty much the word on rookie wide receiver Xavier Legette right now. And all things considered, that’s an awfully great thing for the Carolina Panthers.
Last Sunday, the 2024 first-round pick exited practice with what was initially described as a lower-leg injury. Turns out, the worry was specifically about his foot—which underwent some testing shortly after the scare.
Luckily, the X-ray and MRI results came back clean on Legette—who was seen back on the practice field doing a bit of light work on Saturday.

Head coach Dave Canales was asked about the status of his young pass catcher.
“Yeah, he’s doin’ great,” Canales replied. “Again, it’s a really a day-to-day thing. And we’re just trying to get the discomfort out of the foot completely, clear it up before we start getting him into really fast change-of-direction things. So the in-line stuff is great. And we’ll be smart about that and bring him along.”
Legette, of course, did not appear in Thursday night’s preseason opener in New England.
