Carolina Panthers wideout Jalen Coker seems to be trending towards suiting up on Sunday night.
In a sight for many a sore eye, Coker got a bump in status here in Week 4—as he was listed as a limited participant in Thursday's practice. The third-year receiver, who is dealing with a quad injury, was estimated as non-participant from yesterday's walk-through.
Coker, following today's session, was asked if he thinks he'll be in uniform against the Detroit Lions.

The setback occurred in Carolina's 21-18 loss to the Cleveland Browns in Week 3. Coker departed in the third quarter of the outing after registering a pair of catches for 18 yards.
His presence may be especially
needed this weekend, as the Panthers host the Lions in a prime-time matchup. With starting cornerbacks Jaycee Horn and Mike Jackson both sidelined, Coker could help keep Carolina afloat in a potential shootout against quarterback Jared Goff and the dangerous Detroit offense.
