Caporali Horn back on the field after foot injury
The Carolina Panthers have announced that cornerback Jaycee Horn is ready to get back on the practice field. The former fourth overall pick got the green light Tuesday morning, as he was activated from the non-football injury list due to a minor cut sustained at the start of training camp.
Horn has been working out on side fields while his teammates went through their regular practices over the past week. His activation opens up opportunities for him to participate in fully padded sessions, which are crucial in building team chemistry and executing strategies during the season.
This comes as good news for Panthers fans and team officials who were monitoring Horn's recovery carefully. The first full-padded practice is set for Tuesday and will be a key moment for the team given their defensive needs and the upcoming NFL season.
Four Panthers players still injured
While Horn's return is welcome, four other Panthers remain on the injury list: offensive tackles Ikem Ekwonu and Taylor Moton are expected to miss some or all of the regular season. This highlights the continued importance of Horn in their defense.
