Jaycee Horn Injury News & Updates

Head coach Dave Canales told reporters Monday that he expects Horn (concussion) will be available to practice and play following the team's Week 14 bye, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

The 26-year-old was sidelined for the Panthers' Week 13 win over the Rams after sustaining a concussion the game prior, but it now appears he'll likely be available following the Week 14 bye. Horn has been one of the best corners in the NFL this season, recording 25 total tackles and six passes defensed, including five interceptions (tied for second-most in the league), across 12 contests. If available for the Week 15 matchup against the Saints, Horn will likely start opposite Mike Jackson to form Carolina's top outside cornerback duo.

Horn (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Horn suffered the concussion in last Monday night's loss to the 49ers, and he'll now miss the Week 13 date with Los Angeles, significantly upgrading the matchup for both Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. With Horn sidelined, Akayleb Evans and Robert Rochell are likely to play elevated snaps at cornerback.

Horn (concussion) did not practice in Thursday's walkthrough, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Horn has now missed another consecutive practice with the concussion he sustained in the Monday Night Football loss to the 49ers. If the cornerback wants any chance to play in Week 13 he will need to log at least a limited session Friday.

Horn (concussion) did not practice Wednesday.

Horn suffered a concussion in the team's 20-9 loss to the 49ers on Monday Night Football, so his absence Wednesday doesn't come as a surprise. The cornerback is fighting an uphill battle to play in Week 13, and he'll have two more chances to return to practice prior to Sunday's matchup with the Rams.

Horn (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Monday's game against the Panthers, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Per the ESPN broadcast, Horn was being evaluated by medical staff following his second interception of the game in the second quarter. He remained in the locker room after halftime and will not return after being diagnosed with a concussion, so Corey Thornton has taken over as the Panthers' second outside cornerback opposite Mike Jackson.

Horn tallied three total tackles (two solo) in Sunday's 40-9 loss to the Bills.

Horn played a season-low 87 percent of Carolina's defensive snaps in Week 8, but that's likely due to the second-half blowout. The South Carolina product has tallied 13 total tackles and three interceptions (tied for third-most in the NFL) across the Panthers' first eight games this season. He's expected to have his hands full in the Week 9 matchup against the Packers, as Jordan Love just threw for 360 yards and three touchdowns against the Steelers in a Week 8 win.

Horn recorded one total tackle (none solo) and two interceptions in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Jets.

Horn took full advantage of a more aggressive Jets' passing attack in Sunday's win, picking off Tyrod Taylor twice in the second half. The South Carolina product continues to prove why he's one of the league's highest-paid cornerbacks, having now tallied 10 total tackles and three interceptions across the team's first seven games. He's expected to continue causing problems for opposing quarterbacks in the Week 8 matchup against the Bills.

Horn (shoulder) was a full participant in practice Thursday.

Horn was listed as limited Wednesday due to a shoulder injury, but he upgraded to full participation Thursday and should be in his usual starting cornerback role Sunday against the Jets. He has nine tackles (seven solo) and one interception in what has been a quiet statistical start to 2025 after a Pro Bowl 2024 campaign.

Horn tallied two total tackles (one solo) and one interception during Sunday's 26-10 loss to the Jaguars.

Horn was one of the Panthers' few bright spots, making an incredible one-handed interception on a pass intended for Travis Hunter down the left side of the field in Sunday's loss. Additionally, the 25-year-old helped hold second-year star wideout Brian Thomas in check, as he finished with just one catch for 11 yards on seven targets. Horn is expected to draw another tough matchup when the Panthers play the Cardinals in Week 2, as he figures to see a lot of Marvin Harrison.

Horn (thumb) was not listed on the Panthers' injury report Wednesday.

Horn had been tending to a thumb injury he sustained a couple weeks into training camp as a result of a car accident, but it appears he'll be ready to suit up in Week 1. He figures to see a lot of Brian Thomas in Carolina's regular-season opener.

Horn (thumb) won't play in Saturday's preseason game against the Texans, Sheena Quick of Fox Sports Radio 1340 reports.

Horn injured his thumb in a car accident last Wednesday and required stitches. The team isn't worried about his availability for the regular season, but the standout cornerback won't play in Saturday's preseason game and probably won't be available for the Aug. 21 preseason finale against Pittsburgh, either.

Horn (thumb) did not participate in Monday's practice session, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Horn needed stitches on his left thumb after getting into a car accident Wednesday and did not play in Friday's preseason game against the Browns. Per Sheena Quick of Fox Sports Radio 1340, head coach Dave Canales indicated Monday that Horn's injury wouldn't be severe enough for him to miss a regular-season game, but the team will play it cautiously to avoid the risk of infection. Corey Thornton and Akayleb Evans will have opportunities to work opposite Michael Jackson in the first-team defense while Horn is sidelined.

Panthers head coach Dave Canales said Wednesday that Horn (thumb) is considered day-to-day, Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports.

Canales said Horn "had to have a few stitches in his left thumb area" after being involved in a car accident on his way to team facilities, and that he will not suit up for Friday's preseason opener against the Browns but "hopefully" will be available Aug. 16 versus the Texans. Horn, who attended practice Wednesday as an observer, confirmed via his personal social media accounts that he has avoided any serious injuries.

Horn received stitches in his left hand following a car accident Wednesday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Horn was involved in a car accident on the way to practice Wednesday, resulting in him needing a few stitches in his left hand. The 25-year-old was seen at practice, but not participating, and head coach Dave Canales has also ruled him out for Friday's preseason opener.

Horn was involved in a car accident Wednesday morning, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Horn was involved in a car accident outside Bank of America Stadium. The 25-year-old did not need medical attention but will not participate in practice Wednesday.

Horn is signing a four-year extension with the Panthers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Schefter's initial report of a four-year, $100 million contract would make Horn the leader among defensive backs in average annual value. He's played just 37 games in four seasons since the Panthers took him eighth overall in the 2021 NFL Draft, but they've apparently been happy with his performance, especially in 2024 when he had career highs for games played (15), tackles (68), pass defenses (13) and sacks (2.0) en route to his first Pro Bowl nomination. Horn is 25 years old and still has a chance to cement himself as one of the league's top cornerbacks, but he'll need to stay healthy for more than a few months at a time to earn that distinction.

Horn (hip) participated in the relay race and flag football events at the 2025 Pro Bowl Games, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

The fourth-year corner out of South Carolina earned his first Pro Bowl selection after a strong 2024 campaign, during which he logged 68 tackles (49 solo), including 2.0 sacks and 13 pass defenses (including one interception) across 15 regular-season games. Horn will be in the final year of his rookie contract in 2025, and his strong performance this past season could lead to an extension during the offseason.

Horn (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

After starting the first 15 games of the season, Horn will end up missing the final two contests, finishing his 2024 campaign with 68 tackles (49 solo), including five TFLs and 2.0 sacks, and 13 pass breakups, including one interception. The No. 8 overall pick of the 2021 NFL Draft, Horn is under contract for $12.472 million next season, the final year of his rookie deal. Caleb Farley should get another start at cornerback in the Week 18 finale.

Horn (hip) didn't practice Wednesday.

Horn didn't play this past Sunday versus the Buccaneers after missing practice all week due to the hip issue. The fourth-year cornerback is still dealing with the injury, and he's uncertain to play in the Panthers' season finale Sunday versus the Falcons. Caleb Farley got his first start of the campaign and logged 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps as Horn's replacement against Tampa Bay.

Horn (hip) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Horn was unable to practice all week due to a hip injury he picked up in Week 16 against the Cardinals. It'll be the first game he's missed all season, and he'll focus his attention on being available for the regular-season finale against the Falcons. Caleb Farley will serve as the Panthers' second starting outside corner opposite Michael Jackson on Sunday due to Horn's injury.

Horn (hip) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Bucs.

Horn logged a trio of DNPs in practice this week and is unlikely to be available to face Mike Evans and the Bucs in Week 17. It will be Horn's first missed game of the season. Slot CB Chau Smith-Wade (chest/illness) has also been ruled out, so it looks like Carolina will be down to Michael Jackson, Dane Jackson and Caleb Farley at cornerback.

Horn (hip) was listed as a DNP on Thursday's practice report.

Horn was able to progress enough in his recovery from a groin injury to play in Week 16 against the Cardinals, during which he logged four tackles (one solo) while playing every single defensive snap. However, it appears he is now working through a hip injury, which has caused him to be sidelined for the Panthers' first two practice sessions of the week. Horn would have to practice in at least a limited capacity Friday in order to have a shot at playing against Tampa Bay on Sunday. Dane Jackson would be the top candidate to serve as the Panthers' second starting cornerback opposite Michael Jackson if Horn is unable to play.

Horn (groin) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals.

Horn opened Carolina's week of practice as a non-participant due to a groin injury sustained in the Week 14 loss to the Eagles. However, he upgraded to full practice Friday, suggesting that he's moved past the injury in time to play in Week 16. With Horn back at full health, he's expected to start opposite Michael Jackson as part of the Panthers' top outside cornerback duo Sunday.

Horn (groin) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Horn suffered a groin injury during the Panthers' Week 14 loss against the Eagles. That didn't prevent him from playing against the Cowboys this past Sunday, and he ended up playing every single defensive snap while logging two solo tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defense. Horn didn't practice Wednesday, but given his increased participation in Thursday's practice, he should be able to play against the Cardinals on Sunday unless he suffers a setback.

Horn (groin) is available for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

As expected, Horn will get the green light despite being listed as questionable due to a groin injury he sustained in the final stages of Carolina's Week 14 loss to the Eagles. Across 13 appearances this season, Horn has recorded 62 tackles (46 solo), 1.0 sacks, 12 passes defended and one interception.

Horn (groin) is expected to play Sunday against the Cowboys, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Horn sustained a groin injury in the latter stages of the Panthers' loss to the Eagles in Week 14, but it seems he'll end up playing Sunday against the Cowboys. The standout cornerback has made 13 appearances for Carolina this season, tallying 62 tackles (46 solo), 1.0 sacks, 12 passes defended and one interception. If he can't go Sunday, then Caleb Farley will probably start in his place.

Horn (groin) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Horn is dealing with a groin injury sustained late during Carolina's loss to the Eagles in Week 14, so it's conceivable his status for Sunday's matchup against Dallas could come down to the wire. Official word on the standout cornerback's status will arrive no later than 90 minutes ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Horn (groin) is officially questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Official word on the standout cornerback's status will arrive no later than 90 minutes ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Horn (groin) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

The South Carolina product sustained a groin injury toward the end of Carolina's Week 14 loss to the Eagles, so Wednesday's limited session comes as no surprise. Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports that Horn is considered day-to-day, suggesting he has a chance to suit up when the Panthers host the Cowboys in Week 15. Horn's practice participation Thursday and Friday will likely offer the best insight into whether he can play through the injury Sunday.

Horn is considered day-to-day after suffering a groin injury near the end of Sunday's game against the Eagles, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Horn has had a statistically strong campaign, setting career highs in combined tackles (62) and passes defended (12). He also recorded his first career sack. Any absence moving forward would hamper the Panthers' secondary, but his day-to-day status could still have him suiting up Week 15 against the Cowboys.

Horn is considered questionable to return to Sunday's game versus the Eagles due to a groin injury, Sheena Quick of Fox Sports Radio 1340 reports.

Horn was making his presence known before exiting the game, as he had logged six tackles (four solo). The severity of his groin injury is unknown, but Dane Jackson is the likely candidate to fill in opposite Michael Jackson at outside cornerback while he is sidelined.

Horn (calf) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chiefs and is expected to play, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Horn avoided a serious injury when he popped up on the injury report earlier in the week. Through 10 games, Horn has 44 tackles (33 solo) and 10 pass breakups, including one interception.

Defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero told reporters Thursday that Horn (calf) is on schedule to play in Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Horn popped up on the Panthers' injury report Wednesday with a calf injury following the team's Week 11 bye. While his status for Sunday's game was initially in question, Evero's comments Thursday suggest that the fourth-year pro will play through the issue. Expect Horn to line up opposite Michael Jackson as part of the Panthers' top outside cornerback duo in Week 12.

Horn was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a calf injury.

Despite the Panthers having a Week 11 bye, Horn appears to have picked up a calf injury since the team's Week 10 win over the Giants. His participation in practice Thursday and Friday will likely provide the best indication of whether he can suit up for the Panthers' Week 12 matchup against the Chiefs.

Horn recorded eight total tackles (six solo) and defended one pass in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Giants.

Not only did Horn tie Xavier Woods for the Panthers' leading tackler Sunday, but he also helped hold rookie sensation Malik Nabers to just six catches for 50 yards, his second-lowest yardage of the season. Horn has impressed through the Panthers' first 10 games, recording 44 total tackles and 10 passes defended, including one interception. Expect the 2021 first-round pick to continue causing problems for opposing team's top wide receivers when the Panthers next take the field in Week 12 against Kansas City.

Horn logged six total tackles (all solo) and defended one pass in Sunday's 36-10 loss to the Bears.

Horn has now recorded six-or-more stops in three of the Panthers' last four games, bringing his season total up to 23 tackles. He's on pace to easily break his previous best of 53 total tackles in one season and remains one of the few bright spots on a Carolina defense that ranks last in the NFL in points allowed per game (33). Expect Horn to continue producing as the Panthers host the Falcons in Week 6.

Horn recorded eight total tackles (seven solo), including one tackle for loss, while also defending one pass during Sunday's 34-24 loss to the Bengals.

Horn allowed just four receptions for 33 yards while also finishing second on the Panthers in total tackles during Sunday's loss. The 2021 first-round pick is tied for first on Carolina in interceptions (one) and ranks second in passes defended (three) through four games. He's expected to remain the team's top cornerback in Week 5 as the Panthers travel to Chicago.

Horn recorded six total tackles (four solo) and defended two passes, including one interception, during Sunday's 26-3 loss to the Chargers.

The 2021 first-round pick was burned by Quentin Johnston for a 29-yard touchdown in the first quarter of Sunday's contest, but Horn responded well, intercepting Justin Herbert later on that quarter. Horn is expected to remain the Panthers' top cornerback in Week 3 as the team travels to take on the Raiders.

The Panthers have elected to pick up Horn's fifth-year contract option, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Horn, who the Panthers took eighth overall in the 2021 NFL Draft, is thus slated to remain under contract with the team through the 2025 campaign. Injuries have hampered the starting cornerback over his first three years as a pro, but when available the 24-year old has made his mark in Carolina's secondary, while racking up 85 tackles and four picks over the course of 22 regular-season outings.

Horn finished the regular season with 27 tackles (20 solo) and five passes defended in six games.

Horn has played only 22 games since being drafted eighth overall in 2021. With a hamstring injury sidelining him for a long stretch this season, Horn's overall impact was limited. Despite flashing promise when healthy, Horn approaches the final year of his rookie contract with significant questions over his durability.

Horn (toe) is active Sunday against the Buccaneers.

Horn was able to log a full practice Friday, so his ability to suit up doesn't come as a major surprise. The South Carolina product should draw a start at corner in their divisional clash with Tampa Bay in Week 18.

Horn (toe) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

Horn could be trending in the right direction to play in Week 18, as he's gone from logging a limited practice session both Wednesday and Thursday to a full workload Friday. The 2021 first-round pick was able to play through the same toe issue in Week 17, but if he's unable to suit up Sunday, expect Shaquill Griffin and Jeremy Chinn to see more work in the Panthers' secondary.

Horn (toe) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Horn was able to play through his toe issue in Sunday's loss at Jacksonville, so any limitations at this point could just be maintenance-related. Either way, he'll likely have to upgrade to full participation at practice Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Horn (toe) is active ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Horn began Carolina's week of practice with back-to-back DNPs, but after a limited session Friday, it seems as if he'll be able to play through his toe issue Sunday. The third-year cornerback and the Panthers defense will look to rebound against a Jaguars squad that's led by backup quarterback C.J. Beathard in Week 17.

Horn (toe) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Jacksonville.

Horn was able to practice in a limited capacity Friday after missing practice Wednesday and Thursday, giving himself a chance to play in Week 17. If he can't go though, Donte Jackson would enter Sunday as the Panthers' top cornerback.

Horn (toe) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Horn played a season-high 61 defensive snaps during Sunday's loss versus the Packers, and it's not clear when he picked up the toe issue. In any case, if he can't get back to practice Thursday or Friday, he'll probably end up sitting out in Week 17.

Horn recorded seven solo tackles while also deflecting a pass in Sunday's 28-6 loss to New Orleans.

Horn was able to play every defensive snap in a game for the first time this year, producing a season-high seven stops in the loss. The cornerback has now compiled 13 tackles and two pass deflection over the three contests he's appeared in during the 2023 campaign.

Horn (hamstring) is active Sunday against the Buccaneers, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Horn will suit up for the first time since Week 1 after returning to the active roster Saturday following a long stint on IR. The South Carolina products return is good news for the Carolina secondary.

Horn (hamstring) was activated off injured reserve Saturday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Although he was activated, Horn remains questionable for Sunday's contest against the Buccaneers. If he is ultimately unable to make his return, Donte Jackson and CJ Henderson would presumably remain Carolina's top cover corners. More clarity on his status should come closer to kickoff.

Horn (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay.

Horn was limited at all three of the Panthers' practices this week, so there's no solid indication of his availability in one direction or the other at this point. If he can't return in Week 13, Donte Jackson and CJ Henderson should again operate as Carolina's top cover corners Sunday.

Horn (hamstring) has been ruled out of Sunday's contest against the Titans, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Horn is still on the Panthers' injured reserve and will need to be activated before he can make his return. He sustained a hamstring injury in the season-opener against the Falcons after playing just 19 snaps (17 on defense) and recording one tackle. CJ Henderson (concussion) was also ruled out for Sunday's game, which means Donte Jackson and Troy Hill are the likely starters at corner against Tennessee.

Horn (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Horn will first need to be officially activated from injured reserve to suit up Sunday, and that's unlikely to happen based on his doubtful designation. Horn's 21-day window to return to the active roster was opened prior to the Week 11 loss to Dallas, so he will likely be re-added to the 53-man roster prior to Carolina's Week 13 game against the Buccaneers if he sits out Sunday in Tennessee as expected. Per David Newton of ESPN.com, coach Frank Reich said Friday he believes Horn will play again this season.

Horn (hamstring) is listed as out for Sunday's game versus Dallas, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Horn was designated for return from Carolina's injured reserve list Monday, but he'll have to wait at least one more week before he can actually return to action. Donte Jackson will once again start as the Panthers' top corner in Week 11.

Carolina designated Horn (hamstring) to return from its injured reserve list Monday.

The transaction opens a 21-day window during which the Panthers can officially activate Horn before they'd be forced to shut him down for the remainder of the season. Carolina's injury reports this week will provide an indication of whether he could suit up in Week 11 versus the Cowboys.

Head coach Frank Reich noted Wednesday that Horn (hamstring) has been making good progress, but is still one or two weeks away from returning, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Horn sustained a hamstring injury in Week 1 against the Falcons, and at the time it was believed that the injury would keep him out until the second half of the season. In Horn's absence, the Panthers have gone with Donte Jackson and CJ Henderson as the starters and the defense has allowed just 186.6 passing yards per game this season. The 2021 first-round pick finished the 2022 season with 53 tackles (37 solo) and three interceptions in 13 games.

The Panthers placed Horn (hamstring) on injured reserve Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Horn's hamstring injury isn't considered season-ending, though the cornerback appears on track to spend more than the minimum four games on IR. While an official timeline for Horn's return hasn't been established, Rapoport suggests that the Panthers are preparing for the 23-year-old to be ready to play at some point in the second half of the campaign. Troy Hill served as the primary replacement for Horn following the latter's exit in the Panthers' Week 1 loss to Atlanta and could draw the start opposite boundary corner Donte Jackson in Monday's game versus the Saints. CJ Henderson, meanwhile, should continue to operate as Carolina's top slot corner.

Coach Frank Reich wouldn't rule out the possibility of surgery for Horn (hamstring), Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Horn hurt his hamstring in the season opener and could be looking at a multi-week absence. If he needs surgery, Horn will definitely be out for weeks if not months. Reich referred to the injury as a "freak thing."

Horn is expected to miss multiple weeks due to a hamstring injury suffered in Sunday's loss to the Falcons, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Horn suffered the injury in the first half of the contest, and he was ruled out for the remainder of it soon after. The third-year pro's expected absence will be a blow to the secondary, while Jeremy Chinn and CJ Henderson will be called upon to step up in his place. Horn should be considered doubtful at best for Monday's matchup with the Saints.

Horn (Hamstring) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against Atlanta, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.

Horn will not return for the second half after sustaining what appeared to be a serious hamstring injury in the first half. CJ Henderson and Jeremy Chinn will step into larger roles for the rest of the game to supplement starting cornerback Donte Jackson.

Horn is considered doubtful to return to Sunday's game against Atlanta due to a hamstring injury, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Horn logged one tackle before suffering what appears to be a serious hamstring injury, as he was ruled doubtful to return shortly after exiting in the first half. In the 2021 first-round pick's absence, CJ Henderson and/or Jeremy Chinn will likely step into a primary role opposite starting cornerback Donte Jackson.

Horn (ankle) said Tuesday that he's "ready to go" for the start of training camp, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Horn suffered an ankle injury while working out on his own this offseason and was sidelined for OTAs. However, he avoided surgery and will be back in action to start training camp. The 2021 first-rounder is expected to be the Panthers' top cornerback in 2023.

Horn will miss OTAs and minicamp after suffering a left ankle injury while working out on his own, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Horn will avoid surgery, but he will need to use a walking boot for a few weeks. The 23-year-old is expected to be fully recovered in time for training camp, which is good for the Panthers' defense.

Horn is healthy and practicing Tuesday at OTAs, Will Kunkel of FOX Charlotte reports.

Horn broke a bone in his wrist in Week 16 last year and ended the campaign on injured reserve. There was belief the cornerback would be available if the Panthers made the postseason, but they ultimately shut him down after being eliminated. Baring a setback, the 2021 first-round pick should slot in as Carolina's top cornerback in 2023.

Horn (wrist) is recovering well and could have been available to play if the Panthers made the postseason, Augusta Stone of the Panthers' official site reports.

Horn said Monday that his wrist injury was a "clean break" and although he sustained the injury in Week 16, the cornerback has made strong progress in his recovery and would have had a shot to return in the playoffs. With Carolina's season over, Horn will now have ample time to rest this offseason and get ready for the 2023 campaign. The 23-year-old finished this season with 53 tackles, seven pass deflections and three interceptions over 13 contests.

Horn (wrist) was placed on injured reserve Monday.

Horn suffered a broken radius bone Week 16 against the Lions, which required surgery. However, there was belief he'd still be able to suit up Week 18 after missing Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers. With the Panthers now eliminated from playoff contention, it appears the team has decided to shut Horn down, as the move to IR will end his season early.

Interim head coach Steve Wilks said Wednesday that Horn's wrist surgery went well and he'll be re-evaluated in 10-12 days, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

After the second-year pro sustained a broken radius bone in Saturday's win over Detroit, Wilks noted that there's a chance Horn is able to return for Carolina's Week 18 matchup against the Saints, per Person. For the time being, CJ Henderson, Keith Taylor and T.J. Carrie are in line to operate as the Panthers' top cornerback options heading into Sunday's game versus Tampa Bay.

Horn is slated to undergo wrist surgery Tuesday, and the Panthers will then determine if he'll be able to return this season, Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports.

Horn suffered a broken radius bone in his wrist during Saturday's win over Detroit, and he's now in line to receive potentially season-ending surgery Tuesday to address the matter. If the second-year pro is indeed forced to miss any time, CJ Henderson, Keith Taylor and T.J. Carrie would then be classified as the Panthers' top three available cornerback options. Per Joe Person of The Athletic, Carolina has also been in talks with free agent cornerback Josh Norman about a possible reunion.

Horn reportedly suffered a broken radius bone in his wrist during Saturday's 37-23 win versus the Lions, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Per Fowler, it's an injury that puts the rest of Horn's season in jeopardy. Prior getting hurt Saturday, Horn had logged six tackles versus Detroit. Next up for the team's right cornerback reps if Horn misses time is Keith Taylor.

Horn may have suffered a fractured wrist during Saturday's 37-23 win versus the Lions, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Horn needed a cart to get to the locker room after he left Week 16 action in the fourth quarter. While coach Steve Wilks merely told Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer afterward that Horn was slated for an X-ray and MRI but didn't elaborate on the injury further, pass rusher Brian Burns noted his belief that Horn's right wrist was broken. If Horn is forced to miss time, he'll likely hand off much of his duties at cornerback to Keith Taylor.

Horn (wrist) is questionable to return to Saturday's contest versus Detroit, Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports.

Horn dealt with some shoulder soreness that kept him limited in practice to begin Week 16, though he worked his way back in full during practice Thursday and did not carry an injury designation for Saturday's contest. While the nature of this new wrist injury is still unclear, the 23-year-old had to be carted off the field after going down in the second half, per Reed. As a result, Carolina will be left with three available cornerbacks for the time being Saturday.

Horn (shoulder) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Saturday's game against the Lions.

Horn was limited during practice Tuesday and Wednesday while dealing with shoulder soreness, though he'll be ready to play Week 16 after he was able to ramp up to full participation Thursday. His availability will be a boost for Carolina's secondary heading into Saturday's matchup against Detroit's prolific passing offense.

Horn made six tackles (five solo) and an interception in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Seahawks.

Horn picked off opposing quarterback Geno Smith's first pass and returned it 31 yards to set up an early touchdown for the Panthers. The cornerback had another interception overturned later in the contest, but it was still yet another impressive outing from the 23-year-old overall. One of the league's breakout players at his position, Horn boasts 44 tackles (30 solo) and seven pass breakups, including three interceptions, in 11 games this season.

Horn (foot) is active Sunday against the Ravens.

Horn's ability to take the field Sunday was expected, as it was reported earlier Sunday by Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. He'll work to help slow down the Ravens' passing attack Sunday in Baltimore.

Horn (foot), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

According to Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer, interim head coach Steve Wilks said that Horn looked good during the Panthers' final practice of the week Friday, so it doesn't come as a major surprise that the young cornerback is trending toward suiting up.

Horn's status may not be made official until about 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff against the Buccaneers, though he was a full participant in practice Friday. Donte Jackson (ankle) is expected to suit up Sunday, but the status of No. 3 cornerback CJ Henderson (concussion) looks more up-in-the-air.
