The Carolina Panthers are currently dealing with some heavy injury news, as they confirmed that rookie running back Jonathon Brooks re-tore the ACL in his right knee on Sunday. But luckily for cornerback Jaycee Horn, who is also in question following yesterday’s outing, his diagnosis is much more encouraging.
Horn made an early exit from Week 14’s 22-16 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles due to a groin injury. The fourth-year defender downplayed the severity of the issue after the game, a sentiment similar to what head coach Dave Canales communicated to reporters this afternoon.
“I think he’s day-to-day right now,” he said of Horn. “Checked out pretty good for what we hoped coming out of the game. But again, we just have to take it day by day and kinda see what his availability will be like this week.”
The 2021 eighth overall pick, who has yet to play a full campaign, sustained numerous setbacks over four-year NFL career. Coming into 2024, he sat out 29 of a possible 52 games due to injury.
Horn, however, has yet to miss a game this season.
