Coker, who sprained his ankle during last Sunday’s defeat to the Chicago Bears, spent the early part of the week in a walking boot but returned to full practice participation on Friday, team officials said.
The Panthers have removed any injury designation for Coker ahead of the upcoming matchup with the Atlanta Falcons, making him available to build on his two‑touchdown debut to the 2026 season.
Linebacker Patrick Jones, who missed the season opener, is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game, leaving his participation uncertain.
Defensive tackle Bobby Brown, who was absent from practice all week, has been ruled out for the Sunday contest, further thinning the Panthers’ defensive line.
The Panthers will look to bounce back against the Falcons on Sunday, hoping Coker’s return adds firepower while coping with the loss of Brown on the defensive front.
