What happened: Carolina moved Legette to injured reserve one day after ruling him out for Week 4 against Detroit. He had been listed as questionable earlier in the week before the roster move became official.

Why it matters: The move takes a recent first-round receiver off the active roster and trims Carolina's depth at the position beyond a one-game inactive. It also marks a sharper turn from last week's questionable designation as the Panthers head into Sunday night.

What to watch: Carolina's next roster move at wide receiver will show how it plans to Sunday's inactive list and usage at the position should clarify the immediate ripple effect.
