The calvary may be on its way here in Week 10, but Jaycee Horn won't be a part of it.
Wednesday's session saw a handful of notable returns for the Carolina Panthers, including running back Jonathon Brooks, wide receiver Xavier Legette and cornerback Mike Jackson—all of whom were designated to return to practice earlier this afternoon. Horn, however, has not had his window opened just yet.
Head coach Dave Canales did, though, provide an update on the two-time Pro Bowler's progress.
"Yeah, just working through it. One week at a time, and just trying to figure out the right timing to open up his window," Canales stated of Horn's quad injury. "That's something that we'll work through together with Jaycee, myself, the training staff, Dan [Morgan] and I'll
be on the same page about that.
"But he is attacking it aggressively. He's goin' after it. And he's kinda got a couple of things that he's gotta put together on the grass before we feel like we can clear him to practice with us to see what he looks like."
Horn was placed on injured reserve after the team's Week 3 loss to the Cleveland Browns. Initial reports on the setback suggested that the fifth-year defender was in danger of missing the remainder of the 2026 campaign.
Nonetheless, Carolina has remained optimistic about getting Horn back—whenever that may be.
