Coker is expected to miss the first four to six games. Initially, Coker was considered the first replacement for veteran Adam Thielen, who was traded to the Minnesota Vikings last week.\n\nRenfrow returns after missing the 2024 season after being released by the Las Vegas Raiders, following a 2023 season in which his production declined significantly while dealing with ulcerative colitis.\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Bringing Hunter back<br><br> Read more : <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ANNcz7bvx6\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/t.co\/ANNcz7bvx6<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/DJUIhmkcTd\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/DJUIhmkcTd<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Carolina Panthers (@Panthers) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Panthers\/status\/1961820125528494408?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">August 30, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\nThere were times when, while dealing with the illness, Renfrow suffered seven straight days of 103-degree fever. He wondered if he would play football again after disappointing 2022 and 2023 seasons.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>I felt so bad those two years, and I felt like I disappointed my teammates a lot.<\/p><cite>Hunter Renfrow<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nThe Panthers stayed in constant contact with Renfrow after releasing him, initially hoping to sign him to the practice squad while he recovered 100% after a hamstring injury during training camp that hampered his return.\n\nCoach Dave Canales said Wednesday that he didn&#8217;t believe Renfrow was back in the form he showed at the beginning of training camp when explaining the decision to cut him.\n\nBut both Canales and general manager Dan Morgan repeatedly told Renfrow they wanted him to be part of the organization.\n\nCoker&#8217;s injury accelerated the process. He will miss at least the first four games after going on the injured list.\n\n&#8220;He has amazing lateral speed,&#8221; offensive coordinator Brad Idzik recently said of Coker. &#8220;And then when he opens up, he takes big strides, the first four steps are powerful, which simulates: &#8216;I&#8217;m going full vertical speed.&#8217; He simulates that every time and then takes advantage of any advantage you give him.&#8221;","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CHARLOTTE, N.C. \u2013 The Carolina Panthers announced on Saturday their plans to bring back Hunter Renfrow, less than a week after releasing him.
