Is Jalen Coker playing today? Why Panthers WR is off to slow start in Week 18 image

After a quiet start to his season following his Week 7 debut, Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker has been more consistent recently.

Since Week 11, Coker has tallied at least 52 yards and/or a touchdown three times and has cemented himself as one of the Panthers' more reliable wideouts behind Tetairoa McMillan.

Is Jalen Coker playing today?
