Horn needed eight stitches in his left thumb following the accident, per Panthers head coach Dave Canales. He has been ruled out of Carolina’s Week 1 preseason matchup with Cleveland.
The accident comes just months after Horn’s four-year $100 million extension with the franchise. The former top-10 pick appeared in a career-high 15 games during the 2024 season, proving his place as a premier CB by earning the first Pro Bowl selection of his four-year career.
Horn will miss the preseason opener against Cleveland on Friday, Aug. 8, in question, but the outlook for the Panthers’ Week 1 date with the Jaguars remains positive.
