Panthers Week 18 injury report: 2 key defensive starters out vs. Falcons

The Panthers will once again be without CB Jaycee Horn and ILB Josey Jewell.

Carolina Panthers cornerback Jaycee Horn will not be finishing out his Pro Bowl campaign.

Horn, who was officially named to his first Pro Bowl Games yesterday morning, has been ruled out for Sunday’s regular-season finale against the Atlanta Falcons due to his hip injury. The fourth-year defender also missed last week’s loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Inside linebacker Josey Jewell will also sit out of this weekend’s contest with a concussion. Like Horn, Jewell did not suit up for Week 17’s trip to Raymond James Stadium.

Here’s the full injury report from Friday:

Panthers CB Jaycee Horn among 5 starters held out of Thursday’s practice

Newly-minted Pro Bowler Jaycee Horn did not participate for a second straight practice.

Unfortunately, a Pro Bowl selection does not come with magical healing powers.

Carolina Panthers cornerback Jaycee Horn, fresh off being named to the 2025 Pro Bowl Games this morning, did not practice on Thursday due to a hip injury. Horn, who also sat out from Wednesday’s session, missed his first game of the 2024 season this past Sunday because of the setback.

Horn was joined on the side by fellow starters in right tackle Taylor Moton (rest), defensive lineman A’Shawn Robinson (neck), inside linebacker Josey Jewell (concussion) and outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney (concussion).

Panthers hold 8 players out of practice on Wednesday

Jaycee Horn was among the eight Panthers who did not participate in Wednesday’s practice.

While the Carolina Panthers are hoping to finish together, they may have to close out the campaign without a few key starters.

Eight players were listed as non-participants for Wednesday’s practice, one of the team’s last before this weekend’s regular-season finale against the Atlanta Falcons.

Starting cornerback Jaycee Horn, who continues to deal with a hip injury, was among the eight men who were out this afternoon. The former eighth overall pick, in his first absence of 2024, missed last week’s 48-14 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers—where quarterback Baker Mayfield threw for 359 yards and five touchdowns.

Running back Miles Sanders, on the other hand, was able to get back to the practice field today after missing the last six games due to an ankle sprain. The Panthers officially designated his return prior to the session.

Here’s the full injury report from Wednesday:

Panthers Week 17 injury report: Taylor Moton, Jaycee Horn doubtful

The Panthers are pretty banged up heading into their Week 17 matchup against the Bucs.

The Carolina Panthers may be down a handful of key contributors in Week 17.

Right tackle Taylor Moton, who did not participate in practice throughout the week due to a knee injury, has been listed as doubtful for Sunday’s matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. If he cannot go, Yosh Nijman will get his third start of the campaign.

Cornerback Jaycee Horn is also considered doubtful for the contest with a hip issue.

The defense will definitely be down linebacker Josey Jewell and nickel cornerback Chau Smith-Wade, both of whom have already been ruled out.

Panthers Week 16 injury report: WR Xavier Legette out vs. Cardinals

As expected, the Panthers will be without 2024 first-round pick Xavier Legette in Week 16.

As expected, the Carolina Panthers will not have their 2024 first-round pick on the field against the Arizona Cardinals.

Wide receiver Xavier Legette has been ruled out for the team’s Week 16 outing due to a hip injury. The rookie did not participate in practice throughout the week after making an early exit from last Sunday’s loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

Fellow rookie pass catcher Jalen Coker, who was limited on Thursday and Friday with a lingering quadriceps issue, has been listed as questionable. He led the Panthers with a career-high 110 receiving yards in Week 15.

Left tackle Ikem Ekwonu and right guard Robert Hunt are also questionable due to illnesses.

Panthers WR Jalen Coker pops up on injury report as limited for Thursday’s practice

Panthers rookie WR Jalen Coker has joined the team’s Week 16 injury report.

Carolina Panthers wideout Jalen Coker has joined an already-crowded Week 16 injury report.

The rookie receiver was considered a limited participant for Thursday’s practice ahead of this weekend’s matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Coker was listed with a quadriceps injury, which sidelined him for the three games prior to his Week 15 return.

That outing, which ended in a 30-14 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, saw the 23-year-old go for a career-high 110 receiving yards. Coker’s 83-yard touchdown before the half was the longest play of the 2024 season for the Carolina offense.

In addition, rookie wideout Xavier Legette missed his second straight session with a hip injury.

Starting right guard Robert Hunt was also out with an illness.

Chuba Hubbard, Adam Thielen among 10 Panthers held out from Wednesday’s practice

10 Panthers were listed as non-participants for Wednesday’s practice.

The Carolina Panthers—who may be dealing with a bug, according to head coach Dave Canales—pretty much took a collective rest/sick day this afternoon.

10 players were held out from Wednesday’s practice, six of which were listed with rest designations. The bunch includes running back Chuba Hubbard, wide receiver Adam Thielen, linebacker Josey Jewell and cornerback Jaycee Horn.

Rookie wideout Xavier Legette, who seems unlikely to suit up this weekend against the Arizona Cardinals, also did not participate due to a hip injury. Legette made an early exit from the Week 15 loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

Panthers Week 15 injury report: Jadeveon Clowney, Jaycee Horn questionable vs. Cowboys

The Panthers will not have rookie LB Trevin Wallace for Sunday’s tilt against the Cowboys. OLB Jadeveon Clowney and CB Jaycee Horn are questionable.

The Carolina Panthers will be a tad lighter in the middle of their defense in Week 15.

Inside linebacker Trevin Wallace has been ruled out from Sunday’s matchup against the Dallas Cowboys due to a shoulder injury. The rookie has been listed as a non-participant in practice throughout the week.

Wallace has recorded 64 combined tackles, 1.0 sack and two forced fumbles over 13 games. Per head coach Dave Canales, Claudin Cherelus will start in Wallace’s place.

Cornerback Jaycee Horn, who is down as questionable, was limited for a third straight outing because of a groin issue. Canales says he’s hopeful that Horn will play.

Carolina’s defense could, however, have outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney—who missed last week’s near-upset of the Philadelphia Eagles due to his knee injury. He is officially questionable for the contest after two full sessions.

Here’s the full injury report as we hit the weekend:

Injury Wednesday Thursday Friday Game status
