The Carolina Panthers were dealt a significant blow one day after trading veteran wide receiver Adam Thielen to the Minnesota Vikings. And the latest update from head coach Dave Canales around Jalen Coker's complication has fans fearing the worst.
Coker was expected to fill slot responsibilities after the Panthers got what they believed was fair compensation for Thielen. Unfortunately, the undrafted free agent out of Holy Cross sustained a quad strain that resulted in Carolina placing him on injured reserve.
Reports suggest Coker is expected to miss anywhere from 4-to-6 weeks with the issue.
