Panthers place starting CBs Jaycee Horn and Mike Jackson on IR ahead of Lions game
The Carolina Panthers have placed starting cornerbacks Jaycee Horn and Mike Jackson on injured reserve for Sunday night's game against the Detroit Lions. Horn suffered a quadriceps injury during a loss to the Cleveland Browns, while Jackson sustained a groin injury in the same game. Both players are expected to miss at least four games, with Horn potentially sidelined for six to 12 weeks.
The Panthers coach, Dave Canales, is awaiting multiple medical opinions to determine the exact timeline of the injuries. With the Lions, who rank eighth in passing and third in scoring, as their opponent, the Panthers will rely on rookies Will Lee III and Akayleb Evans to fill in at cornerback.
