Xavier Legette cleared of concussion after hard fall during practice

Xavier Legette has been cleared of concussion after a hard fall during Carolina Panthers practice. The wide receiver was injured during a training camp session and was carted off the field. The incident was described as a stinger, a nerve injury that causes a burning or stinging sensation, rather than a concussion.

The Carolina Panthers' coach, Dave Canales, confirmed that Legette would be evaluated but was cleared of concussion. The Charlotte Observer and Panthers Wire both described the injury as scary, with the latter noting that Legette was carted off the field. ESPN also confirmed the stinger diagnosis.

The exact nature of the injury and the circumstances leading to the fall are not yet fully detailed in the reporting. The reporting does not yet specify the severity of the stinger or the expected recovery time. The Panthers have not released a statement on Legette's status for future practices or games.
