What's Happening?
The Carolina Panthers have decided to re-sign wide receiver Hunter Renfrow while placing Jalen Coker on injured reserve due to a quadriceps injury. Renfrow, who was previously with the team during minicamps and training camp, did not make the final roster but returns following the trade of Adam Thielen and Coker's injury. Renfrow is making a comeback after missing last season due to ulcerative colitis, which caused significant weight loss and energy depletion.
Why It's Important?
Renfrow's return to the Panthers could bolster their receiving corps, especially after the departure of veteran Adam Thielen. His previous performance with the Las Vegas Raiders, where he caught over 1,000 yards in 2021, suggests he could be a valuable asset if he regains his form. The move also highlights the Panthers' need to adapt their roster in response to injuries and trades.
