  "account": "Carolina Panthers cornerback Jaycee Horn and Mike Jackson are sidelined, with Jackson recently returning from surgery and Horn still on injured reserve. The team listed 10 players on the Week 4 injury report, creating a significant gap in their defense. With Horn and Jackson unable to play, rookie Will Lee III, Akayleb Evans, and Chau Smith-Wade are expected to step up and make crucial plays against the Detroit Lions. The Lions, who rank eighth in passing yards per game, will be a formidable opponent. Despite the injuries, the Panthers' coach, Dave Canales, maintains confidence in the backup players and their ability to step up.",
