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.

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:

Is Xavier Legette playing today? Injury updates for the Panthers WR in Week 17

Will Panthers rookie WR Xavier Legette make his return today against the Buccaneers?

The Carolina Panthers are likely to have their first-round pick back on the field this afternoon.

As stated by head coach Dave Canales on Friday, wideout Xavier Legette is expected to suit up for Sunday’s NFC South showdown against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The rookie receiver was listed as questionable on the final injury report with a hip issue.

Legette missed the Week 16 overtime win over the Arizona Cardinals, his first absence of the 2024 campaign. Through the 14 games before last Sunday, Legette amassed 41 catches for 439 yards and four receiving touchdowns.

Along with the hip injury, Legette is also dealing with a bothersome wrist. The 23-year-old told reporters back on Dec. 12 that he’s likely to undergo offseason surgery to repair torn ligaments in the wrist.

His return would come at a pretty good time for the Carolina offense, which will be without leading rusher Chuba Hubbard. Hubbard was placed on injured reserve on Saturday due to a calf strain.

Panthers HC Dave Canales provides Week 17 injury updates on Chuba Hubbard, Xavier Legette

Panthers HC Dave Canales thinks both RB Chuba Hubbard and WR Xavier Legette will be good to go for Sunday’s matchup with the Bucs.

The Carolina Panthers have themselves one heck of an injury report here in Week 17. But at least they’re confident about the statuses of two key offensive players.

Both running back Chuba Hubbard (knee) and wide receiver Xavier Legette (hip/wrist) have been deemed questionable for this Sunday’s contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Head coach Dave Canales, however, didn’t seem to think they’re too questionable for the NFC South showdown.

Here’s what Canales told reporters following Friday’s practice:

Hubbard is fresh off rushing for 152 yards and two touchdowns in the team’s Week 16 win over the Arizona Cardinals. He was named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week for his triumphant performance.

Legette missed the overtime victory due to his hip injury.

They likely won’t be joined by a few other notable names, including right tackle Taylor Moton (knee) and cornerback Jaycee Horn (hip)—who are doubtful. In addition, linebacker Josey Jewell (concussion/quadriceps) and nickel cornerback Chau Smith-Wade (illness/chest) have already been ruled out.

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.

Here’s the full injury report from Friday:
