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. 

“None of that stuff ever bothered me because I’m the one out there trying to get it done. It’s just been unfortunate injuries,” he said via the Athletic’s Joe Person. “It’s been all bone breaks, no soft tissue or anything. Just cracked bones. I can’t control that, man. All I can do is try to play some good football when I’m out there and try to take all the precautionary measures to stay on the field. Outside of that, it’s in God’s hands.”

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.
