What happened: The Holy Cross product is in his third NFL season and has taken on versatile offensive usage, including lining up in backfield alignments, per Matt Bowen.

Why it matters: Coker worked back from a minor quad strain sustained in late September to remain an active option in the passing attack alongside Xavier Legette.

What to watch: Carolina enters the weekend with Jaelan Phillips ruled out and Monroe Freeling listed as questionable on the Week 7 Friday injury report.
