Panthers WR Jalen Coker was one of the surprises of Week 1. He caught 8 of his 9 targets for 138 yards and 2 TDs. Coker actually led the team in snaps (57) and routes run (40). Coker’s role in 11 and 12 personnel appears secure, so expect plenty of snaps this season.

The Charlotte Observer's Scott Fowler believes that Panthers QB Bryce Young's play early in camp will "lead to a really good —and possibly great — season for him." Fowler said Young had the "best practice I’ve ever seen him have" on Wednesday. "It was impossible to look away as No. 9 made one dazzling throw after another, firing the ball into windows the size of portholes," Fowler added.

Panthers WR Chris Brazzell will undergo season-ending surgery to repair a torn LCL in his left knee, The Athletic's Joseph Person reports. Brazzell went down after getting tangled up with a defender in Wednesday's practice. The third-round rookie was competing for the No. 3 WR job behind Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker. Xavier Legette now becomes the favorite there, though Person says John Metchie and David Moore remain in the mix.

Panthers WR Chris Brazzell suffered a "moderate" LCL tear in his left knee Wednesday, according to multiple reports. He's expected to miss "up to eight weeks." Brazzell is headed for a second opinion. The third-round rookie had missed two practices earlier in the week because of soreness in the same knee.

Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan has been sidelined this spring with a foot issue. The team expects McMillan to be ready for the start of training camp, though, according to The Charlotte Observer's Mike Kaye. And McMillan didn't sound worried when speaking to the media on Wednesday. "It's just a little sore, that's all it is," McMillan said of the foot. "But I feel good right now. ... No concern."

Panthers WR Jalen Coker has “more or less solidified himself as the team’s No. 2 WR,” per reporter Alex Zietlow of The Charlotte Observer. You probably remember Coker’s huge playoff game against the Rams: 9 catches, 134 yards, and 1 score on a 23% target share. Going back to Week 10, he ran a clear second among Carolina WRs in route rate, registering an 84% mark. The 24-year-old is now an exclusive rights free agent, but there’s no chance of him getting out of Carolina.

Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan (illness) is active for today’s game vs. the Seahawks. He was added to the injury report as ‘questionable’ this morning, but NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport called it “mostly precautionary.” We haven’t heard anything about McMillan’s playing time being impacted today.

Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan has been added to the injury report and listed as questionable for today's game vs. the Seahawks with an illness. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport says it's "mostly precautionary" and that "T-Mac should be good to go." We'll get Carolina's inactives around 11:30 am ET and look for any reports on McMillan's snaps being limited due to the illness.

WR Tetairoa McMillan went 6-73-1 on 10 targets against the Buccaneers. Jalen Coker was the next highest WR with 5 targets. McMillan matched up against CB Jamel Dean often who had been stout against outside WRs, but McMillan was able to win multiple times one-on-one. As the Panthers march toward the NFC South crown, McMillan has proved himself to be an elite option who can be relied upon for the fantasy championship (and next season).

Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan (foot, ankle) is not listed on the final Week 16 injury report. He sat out Wednesday’s practice but was a full-go on Thursday and Friday. The rookie should be ready for his usual role in Sunday’s showdown against the Buccaneers.

Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan (foot, ankle) returned to a full practice on Thursday. He should be ready for his usual role in this weekend's huge game against the Buccaneers.

Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan (foot, ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. He seemed to make it out of last week's loss to the Saints fine, so we're still expecting him to play against the Buccaneers on Sunday. But we'll keep you updated on McMillan's status over the next few days.

The Atlanta Falcons entered Week 11 allowing the fewest passing yards in the league, but Carolina QB Bryce Young set a franchise record with 448 passing yards and threw 3 TDs to lead the Panthers to a 30-27 overtime win. Young overcame an early ankle injury to lead his team back from a 21-10 deficit to sweep the Falcons and hand Atlanta their fifth consecutive loss.

Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Saints. He was added to the injury report after tweaking his hamstring on Friday and listed as questionable. McMillan must have looked and felt okay on Saturday, though, because ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported last night that McMillan was expected to play. We haven’t heard anything about him being on a snap count today, but we have to believe there’s risk of him aggravating the hamstring issue. Check your Team Dashboard to see if McMillan belongs in your starting lineup.

Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan (hamstring) is expected to play in Sunday's game vs. the Saints, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. It's a mild surprise after McMillan injured his hamstring in Friday's practice. HC Dave Canales said at that point that he was "concerned" and that McMillan would be re-evaluated on Saturday. That checkup must have gone well enough. We have to believe there's elevated risk here, especially in a game that the Saints could control on the ground. We've bumped McMillan down a handful of spots in the Week 10 WR rankings.

Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan (hamstring) is questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Saints after being added to the injury report and limited in practice on Friday. HC Dave Canales said afterward that "something popped up in practice, so we shut him down." He admitted that he's "concerned" and that McMillan will be re-evaluated tomorrow. We'll look for further updates, but the rookie is seemingly in legitimate danger of missing Sunday's game vs. the Saints.

Panthers WR Teteroia McMillan scored his first two career TDs in Sunday’s win over Dallas. The rookie caught 3 of 5 targets for only 29 yards.
