Carolina Panthers

Monroe Freeling

OT

Freeling had been deemed questionable for Sunday while in concussion protocol, but he's been cleared one day ahead of the Week 4 matchup. The rookie first-round pick has started at right tackle in each of his first three NFL contests and has logged 97 percent of Carolina's offensive snaps so far.

Ja'seem Reed

WR

If Reed gets into Sunday's matchup versus Detroit, it will be the first regular-season action of his NFL career. The 23-year-old spent all of last season on Carolina's practice squad but wasn't elevated at any point. Reed's opportunity comes after Xavier Legette (knee) was placed on IR on Saturday, and Jalen Coker (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup.

Xavier Legette

WR

Legette has been working through a knee injury the last two weeks, and while he was slated to miss a second straight contest Sunday against the Lions, he'll now sit out at least the next four (including Week 4), meaning his next chance for game action is Sunday, Nov. 8 versus the Broncos. In Legette's continued absence, Carolina will lean on Tetairoa McMillan, Jalen Coker (quadriceps), Brycen Tremayne, John Metchie and David Moore at wide receiver.

Damien Lewis

G

As expected, Lewis will miss at least one game due to a UCL injury that he picked up during Carolina's Week 3 loss to Cleveland. The Panthers are on a bye Week 5, so his next chance to play is Week 6 against the Eagles on Sunday, Oct. 18. Corey Bullock figures to start at left guard in Lewis' absence.

Jalen Coker

WR

Coker previously played through an ankle issue in Weeks 2 and 3 before a strained quadriceps caused an early exit from last Sunday's loss at Cleveland. He then followed a DNP on Wednesday with back-to-back limited sessions to cap Week 4 prep, leaving him questionable heading into the weekend. If Coker is listed among the Panthers' inactives Sunday night, the likes of Brycen Tremayne, John Metchie, David Moore and Ja'seem Reed will be the wide receivers available behind clear No. 1 Tetairoa McMillan.
