Jalen Coker Shines Despite Injury | Carolina Panthers News

Jalen Coker exploded for eight catches, 138 yards, and two touchdowns in a record-breaking Week 1 shootout — outshining all other Panthers receivers and proving he’s the team’s true No. 1 target. Despite playing through a rolled ankle and taking a late hit, he’s downplaying the injury and expects to return by Wednesday. His dominant performance contrasts sharply with first-round pick McMillan, who had a solid but error-prone game. With a three-year, $35 million extension already locked in, Coker is building chemistry with Bryce Young and showing why Carolina got a steal — if he stays healthy, this deal could be one of the smartest in the league.
