Coker was a fantasy darling after a red-hot start, but last week against the Cleveland Browns, the third-year pro injured his quad. Coker missed practice Wednesday and Thursday but got in a limited session Friday. Panthers head coach Dave Canales told reporters that the team won't know Coker's status until at least Saturday.

Quad injury makes Coker a risky Sunday night play; limited snaps likely if active.

Coker suffered a quad injury last week against Cleveland and missed practice Wednesday and Thursday before getting a limited Friday session. Panthers head coach Dave Canales said the team won't know Coker's status until at least Saturday, stating "We're going to have to see tomorrow. We're going to have to gather more information about Jalen to see where that's headed." The source rates Coker a Pivot Patience of 1, noting that a vertical threat with a pulled quadriceps playing on Sunday night is risky; even if he plays, snaps and routes could be limited. The Panthers also have a Week 5 bye, giving them flexibility to rest him.
