Panthers get encouraging Jalen Coker injury update ahead of Week 6

Jalen Coker will need to be a bit more productive when he returns

Coker made a name for himself last season in the NFC Wild Card Round when he went off against the Los Angeles Rams, catching nine passes for 134 yards with a touchdown.

That monster performance earned Coker a three-year, $35 million contract extension and he was expected to be a major player in the Panthers offense this season.

While his Week 1 performance was outstanding, take it away from his season stats and he has just nine catches for 84 yards with no touchdowns in his other two games.

Coker will certainly need to be more productive in his return to the offense. The recent play of Carolina's top receiver Tetairoa McMillan should give Coker plenty of targets and opportunities to succeed and boost his numbers.
