Carolina Panthers’ updated depth chart: Xavier Legette steps up as lead receiver post Diontae Johnson trade


The Carolina Panthers have made headlines by trading wide receiver Diontae Johnson to the Baltimore Ravens, marking the latest trade of its kind in the NFL. Johnson joined the Panthers only recently in a deal with the Steelers, which involved him alongside a seventh-round draft pick, while the Steelers received cornerback Donte Jackson and a sixth-round draft pick.

 

Now, Johnson finds himself on his third team in just eight months.

This trade impacts the Panthers’ receiving unit, especially following their fifth straight loss. Wide receiver Adam Thielen is set to return from injured reserve but did not play in last week’s defeat against the Broncos.

Here’s an overview of the Panthers’ depth chart following the Johnson trade.

With Johnson’s departure, the Panthers currently have four active wide receivers:

  • Xavier Legette
  • David Moore
  • Jalen Coker
  • Jonathan Mingo

Additionally, Thielen is poised to come back from IR, and the practice squad includes Deven Thompkins, Dan Chisena, and Praise Olatoke.

  • Mingo: 25 targets, 12 receptions, 121 yards
  • Coker: 15 targets, 12 receptions, 186 yards, one touchdown
  • Moore: 14 targets, nine receptions, 83 yards

 

Wide receiver trades in the NFL this season

Johnson’s trade to Baltimore adds to a list of wide receiver moves this season that includes Davante Adams’ shift from Las Vegas to New York, Amari Cooper’s transition from Cleveland to Buffalo, and DeAndre Hopkins moving from Tennessee to Kansas City.

The NFL trade deadline is set for Tuesday, November 5, suggesting that more players, including additional wide receivers, could change teams soon.
