Leads pass-catching corps in win Coker brought in all seven targets for 62 yards in the Panthers' 44-38 overtime win over the Falcons on Sunday.
Impact Coker led the Panthers in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon to cap off an encouraging rookie campaign that included a 100-yard effort in addition to Sunday's productive tally. The undrafted Holy Cross product recorded multiple receptions in each of his last seven games and will enter training camp next summer ready to compete for a higher spot on the depth chart.

Catches two passes in loss Coker caught both of his targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 48-14 loss to the Buccaneers.
Impact The undrafted rookie wideout from Holy Cross finished as the Panthers' second-leading receiver in Sunday's blowout loss, trailing Adam Thielen's 110-yard performance. Coker has shown flashes of potential throughout his rookie campaign, having now recorded 25 receptions for 416 yards and two touchdowns over 10 appearances. Expect the 23-year-old to remain one of the Panthers' top receiving options in Week 18, when the team travels to Atlanta.

Held to eight yards Sunday Coker (quadriceps) had two receptions on five targets for eight yards in Sunday's 36-30 overtime win over Arizona.
Impact Coker was unable to replicate last week's 83-yard touchdown catch against the Cowboys, finishing with meager production against the Cardinals despite his team picking up the win. It is worth noting that the UDFA continues to play through a quadriceps injury that cost him three games of action prior to returning against Dallas in Week 15. Coker's inconsistent production and lingering injury concerns limit him to a deep-league option for next Sunday's tilt against the Buccaneers.

Playing in Week 16 Coker (quadriceps) is listed as active Sunday against the Cardinals, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Impact Coker sat out Weeks 12-14 due to a quadriceps injury and then was limited in the final two sessions of Week 16 prep due to the same issue. He'll play through the health concern for a second straight game, however, as he takes on an Arizona defense that has allowed the ninth-most YPT (8.33) to opposing wide receivers this season. Coker also may have a bit more sway in Carolina's passing game with Xavier Legette (hip) inactive.

Jalen Coker injury: Panthers rookie wide receiver's latest status update for Week 16 Carolina gets good news on their popular undrafted rookie wide receiver for Sunday's game.
DECEMBER 22, 2024 • SI.COM
Anticipated to play Week 16 Coker (quadriceps) is expected to play against the Cardinals on Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact Coker missed three straight games with a quad injury before returning for last week's loss to the Cowboys. The undrafted rooie then popped back up with a quad issue on Thursday's injury report, and he ended the week as a limited participant in back-to-back practices. But, it looks like he'll still be able to suit up and play consecutive games for the first time since Week 9 and Week 10. David Moore (concussion) is also expected to be available Sunday, per Schefter. Meanwhile, Xavier Legette (hip) has already been ruled out, which should leave Coker and Moore to round out the Panthers' starting receiver spots behind veteran Adam Thielen.
DECEMBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Questionable for Sunday Coker (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Cardinals.
Impact Coker made a midweek appearance on the Panthers' injury report, logging limited sessions Thursday and Friday due to a quad issue. Fellow WR Xavier Legette (hip) has been ruled out for Week 16, while David Moore (concussion) also is questionable to suit up. The statuses of Coker and Moore won't be confirmed until about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, but if either or both join Legette as inactive, Carolina may have to roll with Adam Thielen, Deven Thompkins and Dan Chisena as its receiving corps this weekend.
DECEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Limited by quad issue Coker was limited in practice Thursday due to a quadriceps injury.
Impact Coker wasn't listed on the Panthers' first Week 16 practice report Wednesday, so his addition one day later is somewhat worrisome. Having said that, he missed Weeks 12-14 with a quad issue, so his practice restrictions Thursday may be related to maintenance. In his return to action this past Sunday against the Cowboys, Coker hauled in four of six targets for 110 yards and one touchdown, which mostly was fueled by an 83-yard scoring strike.

Scores long touchdown Coker recorded four receptions on six targets for 110 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-14 loss to the Cowboys.
Impact Coker returned from a three-game absence and immediately stepped back into a significant role. He finished second on the team in targets and tied for second in receptions, and the highlight of his performance came on an 83-yard touchdown just before halftime. Coker has at least six targets in three of his last four games, so he should maintain a consistent role in the offense down the stretch, though his results will remain more mixed due to the inconsistency of Bryce Young.

Another full practice Coker (quadriceps) practiced fully Thursday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Impact Coker kicked off Week 15 prep with a full session, as he did one week prior, but he was able to maintain that activity level this time around after being limited last Thursday and a non-participant one day later. He ultimately missed a third straight game this past Sunday at Philadelphia due to a quadriceps injury. On Wednesday, coach Dave Canales told Steve Reed of the Associated Press that Coker has been able to attack his routes this week, something that was missing in advance of Week 14 action, and with back-to-back uncapped sessions now under his belt, he's set to suit up for the first time since Week 10.

Practices in full Wednesday Coker (quadriceps) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Coker also began Week 14 as a full participant at practice, before being downgraded to 'LP' and then 'DNP' designations and ultimately being ruled out versus Philadelphia. Head coach Dave Canales said, however, that Coker's current practice activity is displaying an ability to attack routes that the undrafted rookie was previously missing, per Steve Reed of the Associated Press. Coker will work to remain a full participant Thursday and Friday, then to retake the field Sunday versus Dallas.

Another absence Sunday Coker (quadriceps) is inactive for Sunday's game at Philadelphia, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Impact Coker appeared as if he may be in line to make his first appearance since Week 10 following a full practice Wednesday, but he followed it up with a limited session Thursday and no activity whatsoever Friday, forecasting his third absence in a row due to a quad injury. With the undrafted rookie sidelined, Carolina will rely on Adam Thielen, Xavier Legette, David Moore, Deven Thompkins and Dan Chisena to man wide receiver Sunday.
