Panthers Activate Jalen Coker and Austin Corbett as Patrick Jones II Goes to IR

Carolina reshapes its lineup for the Jets with offensive reinforcements following a major loss on the edge.

Overview

  • Carolina activated WR Jalen Coker and OL Austin Corbett from injured reserve Saturday, making both available for Sunday’s game at the Jets.
  • Coker had been out since a Week 1 quadriceps strain and returns after two weeks of practice; he posted 32 catches for 478 yards and two touchdowns as a 2024 rookie.
  • Corbett comes back from a left MCL sprain sustained in Week 2; Cade Mays has held the center job, and Corbett could factor at guard with LG Damien Lewis a game-time decision.
  • The Panthers placed DE/OLB Patrick Jones II on injured reserve with a back injury that will require season-ending surgery, according to Field Level Media.
  • Rookie Nic Scourton is expected to start in Jones’s place, and OLB Boogie Basham was elevated from the practice squad to bolster edge depth.
