Jalen Coker's stock had never been higher after the Carolina Panthers traded Adam Thielen to the Minnesota Vikings. This was swiftly followed by yet another crushing setback, which represents a significant blow to the player and the organization.
There was great excitement when the Panthers confirmed the signing of veteran wide receiver Hunter Renfrow to the active roster. Some sections of Carolina's fan base believe he should have made it outright, but his inclusion comes at the expense of Coker's availability.
The Panthers placed Coker on injured reserve with a strained quad.
