CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers cornerback Jaycee Horn received a few stitches in his "left thumb area" following a Wednesday morning car accident that forced him to miss a joint practice against the Cleveland Browns.
Coach Dave Canales said after practice that the 2024 Pro Bowl selection will not play in Friday's preseason opener against the Browns. He is hopeful Horn will be available for next week's preseason game against the Houston Texans.
"I'm glad that Jaycee was OK. He did have to have a few stitches in his left thumb area," Canales said. "They got that all cleaned up and sutured up. He's day-to-day right now."
Horn was evaluated by the team's medical staff and no one involved in the incident was transported by emergency medical personnel. Horn attended practice in sweats.
Horn later indicated he was OK in a social media post on X.
The accident happened at the corner of Mint and Morehead Streets in downtown Charlotte adjacent to Bank of America Stadium. There was heavy rain in the area at the time of the crash.
The Panthers signed Horn to a $100 million contract extension earlier this offseason, which at the time made him the league's highest-paid cornerback. Horn was the eighth overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft by the Panthers out of South Carolina.
