Panthers

Panthers WR Xavier Legette was ejected for fighting with Browns S Rayshawn Jenkins, after the two players exchanged blows while HC Dave Canales watched from close by.

“I was right in front of it,” Canales said, via the team’s website. “We ask our receivers to finish the play with hands on. He had his hands on the guy the whole time through the echo of the whistle. The guy swung and chopped his arms down, and Xavier just kind of held on to his jersey. Then they started exchanging punches. You can’t do that, neither side, both guys got ejected, rightly so. We can’t have that as a part of our game. It’s a physical game; can’t handle that, tempers are going to get hot, but as soon as you throw a punch, all of a sudden we’re at a disadvantage. So we want to see better from X for sure.”
