Coker caught his only target for four yards in Friday's 34-17 preseason win over the Jaguars.
The Panthers' starting offense played the entire first quarter, but Coker wasn't a focal point of the passing game while Bryce Young was under center. Coker is coming off an intriguing second half in 2025, posting a 29-349-3 line on 36 targets over the final eight regular-season games before erupting for nine catches, 134 yards and a TD on 12 targets in a wild-card loss to the Rams, and the third-year wideout figures to be Young's second option behind Tetairoa McMillan.
