The Carolina Panthers won’t have their No. 1 cornerback on the field in Houston this weekend.
After this morning’s joint practice with the Houston Texans, head coach Dave Canales told reporters that Jaycee Horn will be held out from Saturday’s preseason contest. Horn is still dealing with a thumb injury he sustained in a car accident from last Wednesday.

Horn was asked about his thumb following Tuesday’s outing of training camp, where caught balls during individual work using just one (completely healthy) hand.
“I’m good,” he stated. “Just had to get some stitches. When I get them out, I’ll be ready to roll.”
The 2024 Pro Bowler, obviously, did not dress for Carolina’s preseason opener last Friday.
Thursday’s session also saw Horn participate in a limited capacity.
The Panthers and Texans will kick off from NRG Stadium at 1:00 p.m. ET on Saturday afternoon.
