The Carolina Panthers will be without star cornerback Jaycee Horn for a little while after the star cornerback was involved a car accident.
Horn didn’t suffer any serious injuries but the accident is expected to keep him off the field for Thursday’s preseason opener against the Cleveland Browns. The coaching staff revealed that Horn is dealing with a left thumb injury.
“I’m glad that Jaycee was OK,” Panthers head coach Dave Canales said. “He did have to have a few stitches in his left thumb area. So they got that all cleaned up and sutured up. … It doesn’t seem like anything else happened, but you know we’re just gonna kind of evaluate him each day.”
Horn also took to Twitter/X to tell fans that he’s feeling alright.
On Wednesday evening, the video emerged of Horn’s accident showing his black Mercedes-Maybach SUV slamming into a black pickup truck in the intersection.
Horn, the No. 8 pick from the 2021 NFL Draft, has racked up 153 total tackles, 26 pass break-ups and five interceptions since going pro.
Happy he’s doing well after the scary encounter!
