Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker suffered an injury during Sunday’s Week 3 matchup against the Cleveland Browns.
Coker was forced to leave the game after appearing to deal with a lower-body issue. Mike Kaye reported the development from the stadium, with Coker’s status becoming an immediate concern for Carolina.
Before exiting, Coker caught three passes for 22 yards on four targets. His departure also comes with rookie wide receiver Xavier Legette already inactive for the game because of a knee injury.
That leaves Bryce Young with fewer options in the passing game as Carolina tries to keep pace with Cleveland.
More information on Coker’s injury should emerge as the Panthers provide an update.
