An MRI on Carolina Panthers rookie receiver Xavier Legette's foot revealed no fractures, and the first-round pick is expected to return to action this week.

Head coach Dave Canales updated Legette's status on Monday after the wideout exited Sunday morning's practice with a lower leg injury.

The Panthers traded with the Buffalo Bills to obtain the 32nd pick of the 2024 NFL Draft and select Legette, 23, out of South Carolina.

In five seasons, he caught 113 passes for 1,678 yards and 12 touchdowns for the Gamecocks. He had a career-best season in 2023 with 71 receptions for 1,255 yards and seven scores.
