Dave Canales delivers blunt warning to Xavier Legette after fiery ejection

Not many of the Carolina Panthers players who turned out in their preseason opener against the Cleveland Browns at Bank of America Stadium covered themselves in glory. And it came as no surprise to see head coach Dave Canales single out wide receiver Xavier Legette for criticism.

Legette, who's looking to silence some increasingly doubters after a rollercoaster rookie campaign, saw his chances of making an impression evaporate after exchanging punches with Browns cornerback Rayshawn Mitchell. The wideout apologized to fans on social media following his fiery ejection, but the incident irked Canales enough to take his thoughts public.
