Panthers' Jaycee Horn: Update expected in next two days
Rotowire
Head coach Dave Canales plans to take "the next two days" to discuss Horn (quadriceps), Mike Kaye of ESPN.com reports.
Horn has had a productive NFL career, amassing 196 total tackles (139 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and 10 interceptions across 56 regular-season games over six seasons. He underwent surgery on his quad back in September. However, until Horn is back on the field or there is a more informative update, he should be considered week-to-week.
The Panthers placed Horn (quadriceps) on injured reserve Wednesday.
Horn suffered a torn quadriceps in Sunday's loss to the Browns and is expected to miss anywhere from 6-to-12 weeks. It's a brutal blow to the Carolina secondary, which will also be without Mike Jackson (groin) for at least the next four weeks after he was also placed on injured reserve Wednesday. Will Lee, Akayleb Evans and Chau Smith-Wade will handle cornerback duties moving forward.
Panthers' Jaycee Horn: Bound for IR with torn quad
Rotowire
Horn sustained a torn quadriceps during the fourth quarter of Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Browns and is expected to miss 6-to-12 weeks, Mike Kaye and Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com report.
Horn plans to seek a second opinion before establishing a treatment plan for the injury, which could include surgery. Regardless, the two-time Pro Bowler will be headed for injured reserve, with his loss further weakening an already depleted Carolina defensive backfield. Along with Horn, Mike Jackson (groin) exited Sunday's game with an injury, so Carolina could need to break in two new starting cornerbacks Week 4 against the Lions.
