Xavier Legette's Status Uncertain for Panthers' Preseason Opener

Xavier Legette, a wide receiver for the Carolina Panthers, is likely to be sidelined for the preseason opener against the Buffalo Bills on Saturday after suffering a stinger during training camp.

Legette, who was a first-round draft pick, ended a recent practice session with a touchdown catch from quarterback Bryce Young. Head coach Dave Canales expressed optimism about Legette's return to practice but indicated that he may not be ready for game conditions yet.

Legette has been working on improving his skills during the offseason, particularly after a drop in performance last season. He acknowledged the challenges he faced, including losing his starting position, and emphasized his commitment to enhancing his game.
