The absence of Jaycee Horn was extremely evident in the Carolina Panthers’ loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday afternoon. And what has followed as a result of that defeat is an even more obvious development.
On Monday, the team placed the 23-year-old cornerback on injured reserve—effectively ending his 2022 season. This was the clear move to make for Horn, as the Panthers are now officially eliminated from playoff contention after their Week 17 matchup with the newly-crowned NFC South champion Buccaneers.
