The Carolina Panthers anticipate that wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan will take the field for their upcoming game against the Seattle Seahawks on March 15, 2025. This expectation comes despite his recent addition to the injury report, which cited an “illness” as the reason for his listing.
McMillan, a promising rookie and a candidate for NFL Rookie of the Year, leads the Panthers with an impressive tally of 65 receptions for 924 yards and seven touchdowns. His contributions have been significant since he was selected as the eighth overall pick from the University of Arizona.
The team had not previously included McMillan on the injury report this week. According to a knowledgeable source who requested anonymity, his listing is merely a precautionary measure. The Panthers have yet to disclose the specific details surrounding McMillan’s condition.
A win against the Seahawks would be pivotal for the Panthers, as it could secure their position at the top of the NFC South division. They can clinch the division title if they win, coupled with a loss or tie by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers against the Miami Dolphins.
As the game approaches, the Panthers’ coaching staff remains optimistic about McMillan’s availability, highlighting the player’s crucial role in the team’s offensive strategy. The anticipation surrounding this matchup underscores the high stakes of the ongoing 2025 NFL season.
