The Carolina Panthers are likely to have last week’s leading receiver in today’s lineup.
ESPN senior NFL insider Adam Schefter reported on Saturday night that Panthers wideout Jalen Coker is expected to play in the team’s Week 16 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. The rookie was listed as questionable on Friday’s injury report with a lingering quadriceps issue.

Coker’s injured quad kept him out of three games, from Week 12 to Week 14. He returned to the field in Week 15, where he reeled in four catches for a team-high 110 yards in Carolina’s 30-14 loss to the Dallas Cowboys.
That career-best output was fueled by his 83-yard touchdown from quarterback Bryce Young before the end of the first half. The score also stands as the longest play of the 2024 campaign for the Panthers offense.
