Help, depending on how you perceive it, may soon be on the way for the ailing Carolina Panthers.
Head coach Dave Canales, off the team's bitter Week 9 loss to the Denver Broncos, provided some injury updates on a handful of notable players. One of which was wide receiver Xavier Legette—who, per Canales, will be designated to return to practice this week.
Legette has been sidelined since Week 2, when he injured his knee upon reeling in a 55-yard catch in the 34-3 win against the Atlanta Falcons.
Canales added that the statuses of running back Jonathon Brooks (groin) and cornerbacks Jaycee Horn (quad) and Mike Jackson (groin) will be discussed over the next two days.
Canales says "it's getting very exciting" with some of the injured players who are
"close". Says those conversations are happening over the next two days. #Panthers

Brooks, like Legette, picked up his injury during the victory in Atlanta.
Horn and Jackson would both go down a week later, in the painful 21-18 loss to the Cleveland Browns.
