Panthers' Jaycee Horn Reportedly Out Multiple Weeks With Hamstring Injury

Carolina Panthers cornerback Jaycee Horn is reportedly expected to miss "multiple weeks" due to a hamstring injury.

Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reported the news. Horn went down in Sunday's loss to the Atlanta Falcons, appearing in just 20 snaps before exiting.

A 2021 first-round pick, Horn has dealt with injuries throughout his NFL career. He was limited to three games during his rookie season due to a fractured foot and then missed four games in 2022.

Overall, Horn has played in 17 of a possible 35 games as a pro.

"It becomes very tough, becomes very tough man," cornerback Donte Jackson said of Horn. "Just knowing the type of guy he is, and knowing how bad he wants it, how hard he works, and he never does anything wrong, you know what I'm saying?

"He's always a great professional. He's always doing everything that he's supposed to do to be out there."

The Panthers will rely on CJ Henderson to take Horn's place in the secondary. Henderson recorded 58 tackles and two interceptions during the 2022 season, starting in 10 of his 17 appearances. In his fourth season, Henderson has started 25 of his previous 38 NFL games.

The Carolina defense allowed just 115 passing yards to Desmond Ridder on Sunday but allowed five yards per carry.
