It was hot on and off the field during a fiery joint practice between the Carolina Panthers and Houston Texans. And there was one big positive that stood out above the rest.
Xavier Legette's been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons this week. The second-year wide receiver is embarking on a make-or-break campaign after his rookie jitters, so getting ejected early in Carolina's first preseason game against the Cleveland Browns was not a good look.
Head coach Dave Canales laid down the law to Legette, who was instantly remorseful. It wasn't the standards the Panthers expect, and he vowed to keep his emotions in much better check moving forward.
