Xavier Legette, WR (CAR)

Diagnosed with stinger

Legette was diagnosed with a stinger after leaving Tuesday's practice early, Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports.

Legette took a hard fall and was down on the ground for a bit before standing up under his own power and getting on a cart to head to the locker room. He seemingly escaped without a concussion or a major neck injury, though the stinger could impact his practice availability this summer. Legette is competing for the No. 3 receiver job with John Metchie and others.
