Mingo has one catch for one yard in the last month.
Mingo was drafted by the Panthers as the No. 39 overall selection in the 2023 NFL Draft out of Ole Miss and was projected to be like A.J. Brown or D.J. Metcalf.
Mingo was targeted 85 times as a rookie, catching 43 passes for 418 yards and no touchdowns. Through nine games this season, Mingo has 12 catches on 26 targets for 121 yards.
