Panthers

Injuries have been the biggest thing holding back Panthers CB Jaycee Horn as a rising young star who’s been tough as nails when he’s been on the field his first two seasons. The former first-round pick is optimistic his injury luck is about to turn. 

โ€œNone of that stuff ever bothered me because Iโ€™m the one out there trying to get it done. Itโ€™s just been unfortunate injuries,โ€ he said via the Athletic’s Joe Person. โ€œItโ€™s been all bone breaks, no soft tissue or anything. Just cracked bones. I canโ€™t control that, man. All I can do is try to play some good football when Iโ€™m out there and try to take all the precautionary measures to stay on the field. Outside of that, itโ€™s in Godโ€™s hands.โ€

A few days after this interview, Horn was ruled out until training camp with a foot/ankle injury. It’s a setback but fortunately not as bad as it could have been.
